"Denise Burke, senior counsel of the pro-life legal group Alliance Defending Freedom, said Wednesday that the Senate once again rejected legislation that would have endangered women and unborn babies under the guise of 'health care.'The bill, she said, would have prohibited most - if not all - of the reasonable state laws related to abortion that are currently in place to protect the health of pregnant mothers, the dignity of unborn children, and the integrity of the medical profession.Despite claims from Senate Democrats that this legislation is about preserving Roe v.

Jackson Women's Health Organization, the bill goes well beyond even the current Roe standard in its attempt to entrench unrestricted abortion access until birth, she said."
