Democrats Continue to Block Child Custody Protection Act

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 4, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As of press time, leading US Senate Democrats are continuing to block the Child Custody Protection Act (CCPA) from moving to negotiations with the US House of Representatives. The procedural tactic threatens to kill the bill which makes illegal the transportation of underage girls across state lines to obtain abortions in order to circumvent parental notification laws in the girls’ home states.

Since the House and the Senate passed slightly different versions of the CCPA, a conference committee of Senate and House delegates must hammer out any differences in order to produce a final version of the bill for passage by both houses of Congress.The Senate’s version of the bill passed last week 65-34 in the Senate, with the support of Senate Minority Leader, Democrat Harry Reid himself. Reid has since been working to block the bill. [More]
