NEXT DAY UPDATE:
"In partisan vote, House OK’s measure to restrict abortions" by Jim Abrams | Associated Press, June 19, 2013
WASHINGTON — A far-reaching antiabortion bill passed 228-196, with six Democrats voting for it and six Republicans voting against it.
In the short term, the bill will go nowhere. The Democratic-controlled Senate will ignore it, and the White House says the president would veto it if it reached his desk....
So they basically wasted tax money to show they are doing something and diverting us all with divisive wedge issues for the next political campaigns.
But it was a banner day for social conservatives, who have seen their priorities overshadowed by economic and budgetary issues since Republicans recaptured the House in 2010.
Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, called it ‘‘the most important pro-life bill to be considered by the US Congress in the last 10 years.’’
Marjorie Dannenfeiser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List — a group that seeks to eliminate abortion — said the legislation differed significantly from past measures in that it restricts, rather than merely controls, the abortion procedure.
I'll bet that is a shock to many feminists.
Democrats chided Republicans for taking up a dead-end bill when Congress is doing little to promote economic growth....
Democrats also said the decision by GOP leaders to appease their restless base with the abortion vote could backfire on Republican efforts to improve their standing among women.
‘‘They are going down the same road that helped women elect Barack Obama president of the United States,’’ said Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s delegate to the House.
Democrats pointed out that all 23 Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, which approved the measure last week on a party-line vote, are men.
What I resent there is the implication that men have no voice, no vote, or no feelings regarding abortion. Yeah, I suppose it is ultimately a woman's decision one way or another; however, men are still an important part of the process and that is still part of us in there. The implication there is the feelings of men are unimportant here.
Republicans countered by assigning women to conspicuous roles in managing the bill on the House floor and presiding over the chamber. Republican women were prominent among those speaking in favor of the legislation.
The Republican leadership gave the green light to the abortion bill after social conservatives coalesced around the case of Kermit Gosnell....

Globe Offers Excuses For Gosnell
Well, the Globe is pro-abortion (in the name of women's rights of course, although they don't seem to mind abortion by drone missile so much), and regretfully the industry was developed under Jewish Bolshevism and many of the doctors that perform them now are Jewish.

Time to abort this issue.
