the problem is you can't violate one person's human rights for another person's human rights. That is the issue, even if you do believe the fetus is a person, it all comes down to human rights. Say a parent has a 5 year old child that requires one of his/her kidneys (I know that is impossible because adult kidneys can't be transplanted into a child, so substitute bone marrow or whatever you want)... we do not by law require that the parent become a donor. I mean you would hope that any parent will do whatever is humanly possible for their child, but they are not required by law to do so. The removal of a parents kidney is supported by his/her claims to personal rights.

Fetus before birth, infant after? Birth has always been an important event in this country. Take citizenship, it is granted to those born on American soil. It not granted for conception, or by moving in two weeks after birth or passing through two weeks before. TP

All Pieces in Place for a Partial Birth Abortion Ban By Paul Serrell Congressional Correspondent January 3, 2003 CBN.com -- Republican Control Could Mean Partial Birth Abortion Ban WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pro-life groups and Christian conservatives see a big opportunity when the new Congress convenes next week. Many believe with the House, the Senate and the presidency all in Republican hands, a ban on partial birth abortion will finally become law. Conservative activists hope the new Republican majority will quickly flex its muscle on an abortion procedure they have been working for years to ban. Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America said, "Partial birth abortion is so heinous because we can very graphically understand what's happening in the abortion procedure, where the abortionist literally pulls the baby outside the woman, holds the baby in long enough so that he can slice open that baby's head and suck the brains out." House members passed a ban on partial birth abortion in the last Congress, but like many other bills supported by conservatives, it died in what was then a Democratically controlled Senate. Now, with Republicans in charge, pro-abortion groups admit they are worried. Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion Rights Action League [NARAL], is quoted by Newhouse News Service as saying her group has "never had an environment as hostile as this since Roe versus Wade was decided by the Supreme Court 30 years ago." Still, some conservatives worry that new Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is not as strong a pro-life advocate as they would like. Others are keeping an open mind. "Bill Frist has a good record so far on pro-life as far as what he's voted on," Wright said. "As majority leader we feel that he can do a pretty good job since he's coming from the perspective of a physician. He knows what an abortion is." A spokesman for the Senate Republican leadership says he expects formal debate on partial birth abortion to take place in the spring or early summer. He says the GOP wants to tackle economic and health concerns first such as providing a prescription drug benefit under Medicare and making the President's tax cuts permanent. How to handle hot button issues like abortion has been the subject of internal debate in the Republican ranks. Many conservatives want the party to move on these issues as quickly as possible as a way of rewarding grassroots groups and voters who helped elect the new GOP majority. But others say the party should take it slow, that if they are too aggressive, then moderate and suburban voters could be turned off. And that might hurt President Bush's chances for reelection next year. cbn.org * * * * * *
