Senate approves ban on partial birth abortion in 64-33 vote
The Senate passed a ban on the partial birth abortion procedure by 64 to 33, with 48 Republicans and 16 Democrats in support. The bill, which includes a life exception for the mother, is expected to win House passage and be signed by President Bush, who called it a step toward a culture of life. Critics say the measure criminalizes safe abortion and vows to challenge it in court.
