Also, the article, really a column, not reportage, was by a Mona Charen, best known as the author of these edifying tomes:
"Useful Idiots: How Liberals Got it Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First"
"Do-Gooders: How Liberals Harm Those They Claim to Help — and the Rest of Us"
So, you have a Right Wing hack, fronting for a Right Wing anti-abortion group, who writes a column in the Right Wing rag, the Washington Times. Then three Right Wing congressmen in a Republican controlled House under the leadership of Dick Armey get this thing on the floor for a vote and it passes. But, apparently, the thing stunk so badly that the Republican-controlled Senate failed to pass a similar resolution.
