Bush pandering to pro-lifers again, too bad it is all just talk!

White House to Enforce Abortion-Fetus Law

The Bush administration said Friday that it would enforce a nearly 3-year-old federal law that requires doctors to attempt to keep alive a fetus that survives an abortion.

~ I have to ask first off, if this LAW has been in place for 3 years, why has it not been enforced sooner?!~

In making the announcement, the Department of Health and Human Services Department said it was an attempt to educate the public about the little-known law. Officials said they didn't know how often a fetus survives an abortion and would not say whether there have been any complaints about a lack of enforcement.
"As a matter of law and policy, the (department) will investigate all circumstances where individuals and entities are reported to be withholding medical care from an infant born alive in potential violation of federal statutes for which we are responsible," HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt said in a statement.

~Secondly I am NOT holding my breath on this, since Bush has signed in his "FUTILE CARE BILL" in Texas when he was Govenor, which other states are adopting in light of the EUTHANASIA MOVEMENT.! The Futile Care ill Gives Doctors the Right to Refuse Medical Treatment at their Discretion Concerning Quality of Life and Ability to Pay Your Bill~
