<< Or maybe you are lifted in spirits by the heroic veto of the partial birth abortion which i am yet to have it explained to me how it saves the life of the female.....enlighten me, please.... >>

I am not a doctor. But, President Clinton would've accepted the ban on partial birth abortion, if it could still be used if the mother's life or health were threatened.

So, maybe you and I don't understand how a mother's life could be in jeopardy if she is forced to carry a badly deformed fetus, but apparently President Clinton and many doctors do.

If you were pleased because women would be forced to carry around badly deformed fetuses, that would sound mean-spirited to me.

<< Tell me the name of just one Republican that stands for impinging on your religious freedoms....please.... >>

I can name many. The religious extremist wing of the Republican Party wants to make this a Christian nation. I am not a Christian. I don't want to see Christianity taught in our public schools, unless it is taught as a study of all religious beliefs, including Atheism and Agnosticism.

Regards, Bob

Don, some invincibly ignorant, all-purpose lout doubted the following:

"Dr. C. Everett Koop, who served as surgeon general in the
Reagan administration but has supported several initiatives by
President Clinton, says Mr. Clinton was "badly misled" in
claiming that partial-birth abortion saves women's lives and
fertility.

"The president was badly misled by the people who advised
him when he got up before television [cameras] and said these
wonderful women have had this procedure done to save their
lives and their fertility. It never saves a mother's life and it may
very well endanger her fertility," Dr. Koop says in an interview
with James K. Glassman on the PBS program
"Technopolitics."
