, 17:33, December 31, 2009→Most Important Controversy Not Mentioned - Partial Birth Abortion
::It should also be mentioned on the NRLC, Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, Deal Hudson, and Rush Limbaugh pages but is not. Ironically it is not mentioned on the main Barack Obama page and on Wikipedia there was extensive discussion about this[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Barack_Obama#Coverage_of_Controversies.3F] since so many other pages reference it but not the page of the politician it most concerns. It's because of that controversy I've chosen to come over here now, and I will mention more about that soon (unless admins would prefer I'd not talk about Wikipedia events, in which case I'd be fine with such mentions being deleted and the sourcing alone discussed). --[[User:Jzyehoshua|Jzyehoshua]] 08:02, 30 December 2009 (EST)

:::As a result of the federal law, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act, passed in 2003 but not upheld by the courts until 2007, the practice of 'intact dilation and extraction' is illegal here in the United States. A federal law uses the term "partial birth abortion" and it passed through Congress with what was not a particularly close vote either. [http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2003/roll530.xml][http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=108&session=1&vote=00051]
:::Furthermore, in the findings of Congress concerning the Act when it was passed, both the terms 'child' and 'infant' were used.[http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/abortion/2003s3.html] Also, for those who are curious, in that same document relating Congress' findings on one of the most major laws relating to abortion in U.S. history, it states in section 2(13)(G), "In light of this overwhelming evidence, Congress and the States have a compelling interest in prohibiting partial-birth abortions. In addition to promoting maternal health, such a prohibition will draw a bright line that clearly distinguishes abortion and infanticide, that preserves the integrity of the medical profession, and promotes respect for human life."
:::As such, both partial birth abortion and infanticide are federally used terms by the U.S. Government to describe the practice of intact dilation and extraction, a practice which is considered separate from abortion. --[[User:Jzyehoshua|Jzyehoshua]] 12:33, 31 December 2009 (EST)
