The fate of Obama-Care and the Holder Contempt vote , and all the discussion and speculation that follows, will probably wash out everything else today. Before that happens I want to take a few minutes to comment briefly on yesterday’s veto overrides.

I have written at great length on all these subjects and you can search the Grok for more detail than I’ll provide here, but for now I will speak again briefly on the Veto overrides of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, Education scholarships (school choice) and Voter Photo ID…

Who Wants Partial Birth Abortion?

The New Hampshire House voted to ban partial birth abortion today (HB 1679). For those unfamiliar, Partial birth abortion is exactly what the term infers. The baby is partially born before its abortionist-induced termination. What this actually is, is abortion at birth, and if it was done without consent, even liberals would call it murder. But for the left, and more than a few very confused people on the near-right, the thinking here is that the child is not yet a person, a definition which is irrelevant if that same child is wanted by the mother, and an execution when preformed by the government on any other “person” against their will. Something future babies may yet have to contend with.

Surviving birth is no longer, necessarily, the last opportunity for an abortion. A pair of Oxford “ethicists,” who clearly would not object to partial birth abortion, recently arrived at the conclusion that infants are not people either.
