i agree with the law on the moral standpoint, but what will this law open doors to?
bush is already bent over backwards tryin to get his ultra-con ideology into law and he's publically opposed roe vs wade. yes, politicians should be able to disagree with laws, but i dont feel comfy with our prez disagreeing with one of the landmark cases.

I believe banning partial-birth abortion would be a positive step toward reducing the number of abortions in America.This is an issue that’s going to require a new attitude. We’ve been battling over abortion for a long period of time. Surely this nation can come together to promote the value of life.

This is why I am questioning the what kinda doors this law would open.

.“The FDA’s decision to approve the abortion pill RU-486 is wrong,” Bush said in a statement. “As president, I will work to build a culture that respects life.”

- again, it seems that bush and his comrades are bent on overturning roe v wade.
Quote:
McCAIN [to Bush]: Do you believe in the exemption, in the case of abortion, for rape, incest, and life of the mother?
BUSH: Yeah, I do.
McCain: [But you] support the pro-life plank [in the Republican Party platform]?
BUSH: I do.
McCAIN: So, in other words, your position is that you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption. Help me out there, will you?
BUSH: I will. The platform doesn’t talk about what specifically should be in the constitutional amendment. The platform speaks about a constitutional amendment. It doesn’t refer to how that constitutional amendment ought to be defined.
McCAIN: If you read the platform, it has no exceptions.
BUSH: John, I think we need to keep the platform the way it is. This is a pro-life party.
McCAIN: Then you are contradicting your platform.
