Supreme Court to Revisit Late-Term Abortion Ban

Another lovely development on the abortion front from earlier this week.

The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will consider the constitutionality of banning a type of late-term abortion, setting up a contentious issue for a newly-constituted court. The Bush administration has pressed the high court to reinstate the federal law, passed in 2003 but never put in effect because it was struck down by judges in California, Nebraska and New York. The outcome will likely rest with the two men that President Bush has recently installed on the court.
