“As I spoke last night, we are now moving to consideration of the partial-birth abortion ban that has passed the House of Representatives with a constitutional majority, more than two-thirds I should say, more than two-thirds majority in the House, which means, if there is a Presidential veto, we would be able to override it in the House. It now comes to the Senate where we have an assured majority of the votes to be able to pass this legislation. The question really is whether we are going to have 67 votes necessary to do it.
