Small Steps for Children
It is good to be reminded that the world goes on while the UN dithers. The Smart child was reunited with her family months after the police wrote her off for dead. And the Senate passed a bill making partial birth abortions illegal. It will doubtless pass the House and be signed by President Bush. The only question is whether or not it will survive the Federal Courts. No wonder the Democrats are trying to defeat Bush's judicial nominees, they do not have the votes to implement their desires and need the courts to do it for them. Banning the barbaric practice of partial birth abortions is a small step toward banning abortions, but at least it is in the right direction.
