Bush plans to outlaw partial birth abotions

For what is a deeply traumatic experience for those going through it, women now have Bush calling their actions "abhorrent". Why the senate believes it should outlaw this I don't understand. Why should they have the right to stop someone giving birth. There is the arguement about so called murder of the foetus, but I don't believe the Goverment should step in to this.

"The Senate voted 64-34 Tuesday to ban a type of abortion, generally carried out in the second or third trimester, in which a fetus is partially delivered before being killed. The House approved the legislation this month, and Bush has urged Congress to get it to his desk."
This is very important legislation that will end an abhorrent practice and continue to build a culture of life in America,"

Bush said in a statement.

"I look forward to signing it into law."

The partial birth is so psychologically painful, that this method of abortion is very rare anyway; it's only undertaken in the most extreme situations. To take this right away from those who are desperate is an embarrassing and shameful action. Do we have to entrust all our actions to the safeguarding and approval of the Government.
