Awake? Do you remember partial birth abortion? Do you know how barbaric it is?

Do you remember Bill Clinton and do you also remember that both houses of Congress banned this awful practice? But that our former president vetoed the will of Congress and the will of the people twice?

Now let me take you to present day. Same barbaric procedure. Same Congress. Different president. Good news!

Clinton is gone and President Bush has declared that he will sign a ban against this disgusting procedure that would make any person sick to his stomach.

There is better news: the Senate has passed a bill that would ban this horrible procedure. But there is also bad news, the House is using this policy as a political football for what reasons we do not know.

Let us ban together and make our voices heard. Let us not be like Saddam Hussein or other brutal regimes of this world that permit such sadistic acts.

It is time for the House to agree with the Senate. We the people of America demand it.
