Bipartisanship at work on one issue. Nice to see it spread to others.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers has begun a push for a new state ban on “partial-birth abortion ” that would replace a law struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.Opponents decried the move as a political stunt, saying such a law is unnecessary because a federal law bans that type of abortion. But the lawmakers sponsoring the bill say even though a federal ban is in place, a state law is needed to let state and local officials prosecute violations.
