cnn.com www-cgi.cnn.com nrlc.org house.gov "The House approved the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act on April 5 by a vote of 287-141. (See roll call chart, page 26.) That was just one vote more than the two-thirds majority that will be needed to override the anticipated veto." "The Senate approved a similar bill (S. 1692) last October. (See November 1999 NRL News, page 23.) If all senators had been present to vote on that occasion, the margin of approval would have been 65-35--the highest level of support ever for the bill, but still two votes short of a two-thirds majority. " "A nationwide poll of 1,000 citizens conducted March 31-April 2 by MarketFacts found 68% in favor of a ban on partial-birth abortion and 20% opposed. A January CNN/USA Today/ Gallup poll found 64% in favor of the ban and 31% opposed. " nrlc.org
