Next week the House is expected to pass a bill banning all human
cloning—also without any new hearings. Opponents, who favor an
alternative that would allow cloning for research, complain they haven’t
had time to educate lawmakers on the complex topic. Also introduced last
week: a bill outlawing “partial-birth abortion.” “It seems crazy to us
that banning partial-birth abortion should be at the top of the agenda,”
says Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette. In the Senate, the agenda won’t
change much: Senate Republicans just put welfare reform and
partial-birth abortion on their list of priorities.
