Vetoed late-term abortion bill resurrected
By Wally EdgeA late-term abortion bill, which Governor Janet Napolitano had earlier vetoed, was resurrected in the senate today. The measure has been changed to allow a doctor to request a hearing if the procedure is needed to save the life of the mother, which was a concern for Napolitano. The bill now heads to the house.

"If it actually came to the floor, 70 or 80 percent of that room is pro-life," he said. "That's the base of the party. There's no reason for McCain to tear the scabs off the wounds."

Interesting article for what it is missing, Wally.
As logic would have it, doesn't the medical profession already have the "right" to perform medically that which saves a patient's life? I am unaware doctors are prohibited now to perform a late-term abortion, if it is the cause of the mother's imminent death. Wally, how about a follow-up article after researching this question? I am a strong supporter of a woman's right to choose, and would tolerate no repeal of Roe v. Wade, yet find this late-term "doctor" bill without justification. BTW, you didn't say who drafted the bill and who's supporting it? Is Napolitano supporting it this time around? Go back to the drawing board and tell us more.
