Senate to curb interstate abortion runs...
.... and Greyhound reports a 25% decline in business.
Voting 65-34, the Senate has passed legislation that would make it illegal to take a pregnant teen to another state for an abortion without her parents' approval. The House already has passed a similar bill, but it differs significantly from the Senate version and must be reconciled before being sent to President Bush. The bill calls for fines and jail of up to one year, but exempts interstate abortions that save the life of the mother.
Meanwhile, America can't balance it's books and the bodies pile up in Iraq. We all, however, can rest easy knowing that nobody will help Sally make a run for the border.
