I think the women's health clinic is absolutely essential to have in there, as they have in there, have because it is a Federal constitutional right that is eroded. But I find this really very, very interesting, and it is fascinating how they are trying to tap/dance around this. I think it is very confusing. I think it is a shame everybody could not have just voted for the amendment we have in front of us. As I read the two amendments, there is absolutely no difference except they threw a couple of more things in. I find that quite astounding.
