The latest installment -- the House has passed the bill against "partial-birth abortion", the Senate is likely to follow, and the President promises to sign it.
For precisely the same reason that the Federal government has no business legislating against violence against women, it has no business legislating against any abortion procedure.
It is perhaps coincidence that a new "Legal Birth Definition Act" has just been passed in Michigan, and although it uses a different approach, it is directed against the same D&E procedure.
I may have some differences with the definitions and the lines drawn in the Michigan bill, but at the end of the day, I can conclude that the Michigan legislature is the proper place for these choices to be made. The chambers of the Capitol building are not.
