Proposed Modification to Family Planning Amendments Act of 2004

[Colin]

What is the partisan makeup of the Senate, going by real parties?

Why do you want to know? We don't go by "real" parties here Phillip.

[Colin]

6 Democrats, 3 Republicans, and 1 Independent

No way you're going to get them to throw this out completely.

What do you mean? Their are plenty of Democrats who are against Abortion at some point during delivery. I don't know if you count the two Canadians as Democrats since one votes Liberal in RL and one votes NDP in RL.

No way you're going to get them to throw this out completely.

Actually if you want the RL partisan breakdown, going by avatars, it would be 4 Democrats, 3 Republicans, 2 Independents and 1 Other.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Subsections (c) and (d) are there because some in the pro-choice movement fear (and some in the anti-abortion movement hope) that if the unborn are treated as "persons" under some laws, that such treatment might be used as a wedge with which to cause abortions to be judicially declared illegal or at least more difficult under the due process claiuse of the XIVth Amendment.

So Ernest you are basically saying that under the Family Planning Act so called Laci Peterson laws are illegal and go against the spirit of this law?

[Colin]

I'll veto this.

And why is that Mr. President?

[Colin]

I'll veto this.

And why is that Mr. President?

Pro-Choice bill, especially the first part.

I may line item the first part though.

'

This bill is for the taking out of the most pro-choice part of this act. You veto it the most pro-choice parts of this most pro-choice act would stay in place.

[Colin]

Yes and no.
Subsection (d) would clearly repeal any such federal law, but no such law is on the books, altho the Unborn Victims of Violence Act has passed the US House the past few Congresses, and if the Senate were to pass it, I'm certain Bush would sign it.

Um, it was passed by the Senate on March 25, 2004 by a vote of 61-38. Bush signed it into law on April 1, 2004.

Our country diverged from real life in February, so there is no UVVA.

Thank you Jake. PHILLIP IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON PLEASE DON'T POST. I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOU NOT KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON IN ATLASIA. DO SOME RESEARCH FOR GOD'S SAKE.
