Supreme Court agress to hear abortion case

The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider a second Bush administration appeal that seeks to reinstate a federal ban on what opponents call partial-birth abortion. Lucky us.

Justices had already said they would decide this fall whether the law is unconstitutional.

The court will review a pair of cases from lower courts that struck down the law.

Those courts are the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

Justice Samuel Alito is expected to be a key vote in the case, because the court had split 5-4 in 2000 in striking down a state law barring the same procedure because it lacked an exception to protect the health of the mother.

Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who was the tie-breaking vote, retired in January and was replaced by Alito.

The Christian Taliban hypocrites scream that this procedure is never medically necessary. UNtrue. While certainly rare, there have been cases when it has been medically necessary. Also, let's just remind The Reich that less than 1% of all abortions occur late-term, when this procedure would be necessary. The vast majority of abortions are done in the first trimester.
And by the way, this is never an easy decision for a woman to make. Obviously at this point in the pregnancy, she chose to carry the fetus to term.
Despite false claims that women can have abortions ANY time through the pregnancy, this is a blatant lie.
Roe v Wade was clear in defining elective abortion as a procedure before viability.
Arg, whatev.
