(WASHINGTON) - CONGRESSMAN RONNIE SHOWS, A WHIP FOR THE BIPARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL PRO-LIFE CAUCUS, IS MAKING ALL EFFORTS TODAY TO ENSURE THE PASSAGE OF HR 3660, THE PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION BAN ACT. THIS BILL WOULD BAN THE PRACTICE OF PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.

"I am committed to the Pro-Life cause," said Congressman Shows. "We must vote for and pass today the Partial Birth Ban Act. The President should allow this bill to become law. The sanctity of human life can never be compromised. Unfortunately, year after year we are confronted by the self-proclaimed 'Pro-Choice' movement, which wishes to force its will on the lives of the unborn. I for one stand for life."
