Partial Birth Abortion Ban - An Important First Step Toward Ending Abortion in America 
ANN ARBOR, MI  The signing this afternoon of the long awaited ban on partial birth abortion represents a small but important first step toward ending abortion in America, according to Richard Thompson of the Thomas More Law Center. The bill signed by President Bush this afternoon prohibits doctors from partially delivering a baby, and then killing the baby by puncturing its skull. 

Richard Thompson, Chief Counsel of the Law Center commented on the significance of the legislation. The ban on partial birth abortion is significant in that it represents an important first step towards providing legal protection for innocent human life at its earliest stages. I applaud the President and Congress for enacting this important first step toward ending abortion in America. 

Thompson continued, We must keep in mind that this law prohibits only the medical procedure used to kill approximately 5,000 of the 1.3 millions babies aborted each year. These babies can still be killed using other medical procedures while in the womb. And these unborn babies are being killed by procedures no less horrific and barbaric. We have a long way to go. 

Law Center attorneys have been carefully monitoring the legislation, and are now preparing for a legal battle likely to end up in the Supreme Court. We have reviewed this legislation carefully, and believe it properly addresses the problems the Supreme Court found in its decision three years ago, said Thompson. We have been in regular contact with members of the United States. Senate and are prepared to represent them in defending this law all the way to the Supreme Court.
