A Victory for Civilized Americans 

I wrote about this before when it was in its early stages, but now the ban on partial-birth abortion has been passed by the Senate and is on its way to Dubya's desk. Considering I've been writing a lot about abortion lately, this really made me happy. If you want to read my opinions on partial-birth abortion, you can go to the archives and find the post entitled "It's About Time," so I'm not going to go into that again. However, I will briefly say that this is quite possibly a turning point in the abortion debate. If we manage to ban this particularly disgusting procedure, it can only be a matter of time before we start challenging all aspects of Roe v. Wade. We just need to keep Republicans in power. It's that simple. If a spineless lunatic like Howard Dean becomes president, children everywhere are in trouble. Fortunately, as nervous as President Bush makes me sometimes, I'm confident that he actually has a moral compass, and he won't let this opportunity slip away. Again, I won't write too much about this, because abortion is basically all I've been talking about for the last week, but I just thought I'd make sure everyone knows about this. I still have lots of work to do, so I may not post again, but on a final note, I was originally going to post this entry with the title, "Yer Baby Killin' Days are Over!" but I forgot that this law only makes it harder to kill babies. Anyway, that's it for now. I'll try to get more written next week.
