WASHINGTON (Feb. 3, 2003)--In his State of the Union message, President Bush urged Congress to send him the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act so that he can sign it into law. (See story, page one.)
The House of Representatives is expected to pass the bill by a wide margin. But it faces stiff resistance in the Senate, where close votes are expected on crippling amendments.
Pro-abortion senators might also filibuster the bill, which would force the pro-life side to muster 60 votes to "invoke cloture."
Senators--including those who often vote pro-abortion--must hear immediately from many constituents, demanding approval of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act without weakening amendments.
How to Send Your Message
Regular U.S. mail to Capitol Hill is often delayed for security reasons. We encourage you to use e-mail, faxes, and phone calls.
Please visit the NRLC Legislative Action Center at www.nrlc.org and send a free e-mail to both of your two U.S. senators, urging them to oppose all weakening amendments and to send the bill to President Bush for his signature.
