Beginning at about 2:30 p.m., Senator Daschle spoke about his amendment to S.6, a bill to ban a certain type of abortion procedure known to many as “partial-birth” abortion. His amendment would ban all abortions performed on fetuses which could be viable outside the womb except in cases where the mother’s death or “greivous injury” is at risk in consultation with her physician. The Senate later rejected the amendment by a 64 to 36 vote. close
