What a difference 'regime change' makes!
While his predecessor used his bloody veto pen to twice veto earlier versions of the bill, President Bush today signed the bill banning partial birth abortion. Yes, elections do matter.

Of course, the pro-abortion forces are howling and shrieking and suing in court. The bill just signed into law was modified from earlier versions to clearly document the medical opinion that there are no 'health reasons' justifying this procedure. How this case will be decided when it reaches the Supreme Court is difficult to predict, since it is an inscrutable mystery how Justice Sandra O'Connor will split her hairs on any given day.

Nevertheless, the cause of life is advancing and today's signing is a cause for celebration.
