SENATE SENDS PARTIAL-BIRTH TO COMMITTEE: IT'S A TIME FOR EDUCATION, SAYS FRC'S 
BAUER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 1995 -- "Pro-family Americans support the vote today 
because it allows more time to better educate the Senators about this inhumane 
procedure," Family Research Council President Gary Bauer said Wednesday after 
the Senators voted to recommit the Partial- Birth Abortion Ban Act to the 
Senate Judiciary Committee.  A hearing will be scheduled in committee in the 
next nineteen days.

"As we saw in the historic vote in the House, with members on both sides of 
the abortion issue voting for the ban, our representatives acknowledged that 
there are limits to what can be done to the unborn. A procedure that pulls a 
child into the birth canal so that his or her brain tissue can be sucked out 
is blatantly unacceptable."

"This ban will not affect women whose lives are in danger.  The bill is 
clear.  And the additional time will allow the Senate to fully consider what 
is being done to some children moments before birth."
