Well, this piece of legislation is designed for the shotgun attack on Abortion. It does make abortion a more singular target to now attack. The most resent laws are extremely important. I can understand legislation not doing anything to prevent abortions, because it doesn’t, but the newest abortion bill will give pregnant women who are victimized, killed, or their unborn child is killed an ability to strongly fight back against her attacker. I support it wholeheartedly, and I can’t comprehend why anyone else wouldn’t.

Partial birth abortion is a misnomer in itself, nothing is being born, the fetus has just reached a size where it cannot be absorbed back into the mothers system. This process is incredibly rare and is the most useful in cases where further development of the fetus can cause a risk to the mother.

A quote from the actual passed legislation:
“(13) There exists substantial record evidence upon which Congress has reached its conclusion that a ban on partial-birth abortion is not required to contain a `health' exception, because the facts indicate that a partial-birth abortion is never necessary to preserve the health of a woman, poses serious risks to a woman's health, and lies outside the standard of medical care. Congress was informed by extensive hearings held during the 104th, 105th, and 107th Congresses and passed a ban on partial-birth abortion in the 104th, 105th, and 106th Congresses. These findings reflect the very informed judgment of the Congress that a partial-birth abortion is never necessary to preserve the health of a woman, poses serious risks to a woman's health, and lies outside the standard of medical care, and should, therefore, be banned.”

There is a lot more information available for you to make a more informed opinion on the bill. The Bill

Is this thread about whether abortion is agreeable or the legislation on what courts hear cases involving it?

The point of what I was saying is you are wondering why people are not interested in this piece of legislation, but you haven't told them why they should be.<hr size="1" /></blockquote>

Well, I would just assume they would take the time to read such a crucial piece of legislation especially if they want to remain informed. Despite that I did summarize the bill. And I even replied with a reason why people should be interested, explaining the contradiction between federal power and abortion issues. This thread is about the legislation, which I am to assume you read?
