Senate Republicans, Plus One Democrat, Defeat Radical Bill Allowing Abortion-On-Demand Until Birth"...In a nutshell, this radical bill would make the United States of America one of the most dangerous places in the world to be an unborn child ... the 'Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act' ignores the science entirely—and would erase unborn children and even the most modest protections for their right to life from the laws of every state." -Sen.

During the debate Monday, Senator Steve Daines (R-MT), decried the Act as "extreme," and "is completely contrary to the kind of nation America is, and aspires to be"...
