Edit
Well, the Supremes have decided to outlaw the partial birth abortion.

Among the quotes:
"Wednesday's ruling - a turning point in a debate that has engaged the nation for more than three decades - confirmed the worst fears of abortion rights supporters and the highest hopes of abortion opponents: that Bush's push to leave his stamp on the court could open the way for a host of new abortion restrictions."

That's exactly what I was thinking.

More:
"By validating a ban on such abortions, "the court has taken the first major step back" toward the days when abortion was illegal, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif."

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Still more:
"Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee, an anti-abortion group, said the ruling "provides further encouragement" to state and federal lawmakers to enact better "informed consent" laws, such as those requiring that women be offered an opportunity to see ultrasounds or hear about a fetus' ability to feel pain before they have an abortion."

That's exactly what I was thinking.
