Re: Concerning Bill Frist's latest, S. 2207...the Pregnancy and Trauma Care Access Protection Act.

[Guest guest]

These Damn BASTARDS!!!! I swear! Bush Is going to be in my town

tomorrow, and its a good thing I have to work! Im so damn pissed

off at all this crap! I can not have the Jerks thrown in

prison...and now they try to hide behind a law saying we can not

sue! Where the HELL is THE JUSTICE IN AMERICA?????????

will go to vote this coming week...it contains the same language as

S2601.

Help - I can't find this bill (I can't find any bill by the numbers

on congress.org). Do you have a link to this bill online or know of

another site where I can find it?
