The fanatical 15

Although Florida congressman Charles Canady's Born-Alive Infants Protection Act passed the House last week with only 15 dissenting votes, it remains significant that even a small number of elected officials would cast a vote against legislation banning infanticide. Compounding the shame, House supporters of abortion had plenty of political cover, led by pro-choicers like Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York. AP reported the roll call: Julia Carson, D-Ind.
