Sen. Ensign (R-CO) proposed an amendment yesterday which would have set aside money for the enforcement of the Child Custody Protection Act, which prevents minors from being transported across state lines to avoid state abortion laws requiring the consent of the parents. This common-sense, pro-life legislation failed by a vote of 49-49.
