"GOP Retracts Report Dems Call Slanderous"
After a week of Democratic protests, Republicans agreed on Thursday to change a report that had said the Democrats' amendments to an abortion bill could assist sexual predators.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said in a floor speech that the changes made to the House Judiciary Committee report were "a tacit acknowledgment of the inaccuracy and untruthfulness of the original report."

He commended the committee chairman, Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., for the change and said he hoped that, "with this correction of the slanderous report language, this unfortunate chapter can be brought to a close."

The dispute involved a bill, passed by the House last week, that would criminalize the transporting of a minor across state lines to get an abortion.

1. Damage has been done
Like a lawyer who says something, and the judge sustains the objection. The jury now has it in their mind.

This will be like the numerous reportings "Finding WMDs" to freepers. It will remain in their minds long after the "Never mind" report is posted on page A236.
