Democrats attempt to derail partial birth abortion ban with morning after pill amendment BY LifeSiteNews.com WASHINGTON, March 12, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As the U.S. Senate debated partial birth abortion yesterday, Democrats proposed several amendments to counter the proposal and to promote a pro-abortion agenda. One such amendment by Sen. Patty Murray proposed a $10 million campaign to encourage women to use the abortifacient morning after pill and to force hospitals and insurance companies to provide the abortifacient drugs.  The amendment also took issue with a Bush administration measure which provided aid to low income pregnant women in the names of their ‘unborn child’ rather than the pregnant mothers.  In a dizzying pro-abortion spin, several major media outlets reported on the defeat of Murray’s amendment playing it as a defeat for poor women.  “Senate rejects expanded health care for low-income women,” was the CNN headline, with Newsday and ABC News screaming “Senate Rejects Care for Pregnant Women.”  Pro-abortion media outlets as far a field as the UK Guardian offered, “More Care for Poor Moms-to-Be Rejected.”  The amendment failed on technical grounds with a 49-47 vote.  Meanwhile, the debate on the Partial Birth Abortion Ban is expected to wrap up by Thursday, with Senators being forced to contend with several Democratic amendments designed to cripple the measure.  Two such measures are the Feinstein and Durbin substitute amendments.  See realistic coverage of the Murray amendment from the Washington Times:  http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20030312-279950.htm http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/major-media-outlets-engage-in-massive-pro-abortion-spin-on-partial-birth-de/
