Which makes it all the more extraordinary that a majority of Democrats in both the House and Senatevoted against the above law. both the House and Senatevoted against the above law. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm ?congress=108&session=1&vote=00051 http://womensissues.about.com/od/ partialbirthabortion/i/ispartialbirth.htm And these Democrats voting against it were definitely of the "liberal Democrat" variety.
