And the Pro-Life wave continues...

A commitee in the Mississippi Houe of Representitives voted yesterday to ban all abortions in the state except those performed to save the life of the mother. No provision for rape or incest is included in this bill. This move is similar to a move made by the state government of South Dakota last week. The most shocking part of this is that the bill was introduced by a democrat, yet when one takes into consideration the location and where context, it makes more sense. The full vote for this should occour some sometime next week

It is a relief to see the states finally taking charge of an issue that the federal government could do more with but isn't. This should be more of a state issue than a federal one anyway, as this is the only real way to battle the insidious procedure. However, it could be said that it was the President's ardent stand against abortion that started such a move by certian states and his sucesses at getting conservative jurists on the SCOTUS. May the fight continue and may the victory go to those that cherish such a beautiful thing as life itself.
