Most of us are not Doctors. For those of us who are not, can we say we know all possible complications that can occur when having a baby? I admit I am ignorant in the matter. Are you sure you can say that there could never be sure a case could arise were this is the only way to save the mother? I can't and neither can Bush that is why he placed that stipulation in the law he was trying to create.

The form of abortion is not banned if it is "necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself," according to the text of the law.

Signing this piece of legislation is one of the only thing Bush has ever done that I agreed with.

On the other hand, making abortions illegal will never stop the procedure from being performed and when it comes to partial birth abortion that is sad.
