The Supreme Court set the stage Tuesday for a major ruling on abortion by agreeing to decide whether Congress can outlaw what critics call "partial-birth" abortions through the second trimester of a pregnancy. The fate of a federal law, the first nationwide ban on an abortion procedure, is probably in the hands of President Bush's two new appointees: Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
Well, for all of you pro-choice Republicans who voted for Bush or liberals who stayed home on Election Day it is time to pay the piper. The Supreme Court is getting ever-closer to abolishing a woman's right to choose. It took the new court only hours before it tackled this issue - a clear sign of their commitment to please the religious right and put the health of women in jeopardy.
It always amazes me how people have the capacity to deny the obvious, and then when disaster strikes they act surprised. Fact: Roe v. Wade is on borrowed time if one more right wing justice gets on the court.

It is my understanding that this type of abortion is basically only used when the life of the mother is in danger, but the neocons make it sound like the slaughter of the innocents. Why are they not pro-life when it comes to women who may already have children at home who need her ALIVE. Gary (NJ)

In this procedure, a physician delivers a baby to the point where only the head remains inside the womb but then punctures the back of the skull and removes the brain before completing delivery.
This is only my opinion, but it will be a great day in America when the Supreme Court upholds the federal law which outlaws this barbaric procedure. My only regret is that it will hand a victory to religious zealots, and for all the wrong reasons.

The neocons plan is to chip away at abortion until it is wholly and completely illegal again across America, right along side sodomy and the right for birth control.
