When I was leading the charge on partial birth abortion, several members came forward and said, “Why don’t we just ban all abortions?” Tom Daschle was one of them, if you remember. And Susan Collins, and others. They wanted a health exception, which of course is a phony exception which would make the ban ineffective.
Phony? Saving a mother's life is a "phony exception?" Yeah, it's all a trick -- this business of saving a woman's life.
