News Alert: The Partial-birth Abortion Ban Stands

This just released from Washington Post:

"The Supreme Court today narrowly upheld a nationwide ban on a controversial abortion procedure, handing a major victory to President Bush and his social conservative allies.

In a 5-4 vote, the court ruled that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, which Bush signed into law in 2003, does not violate a woman's right to have an abortion, which has been the law of the land since the landmark 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade.
The dramatic decision delivered to abortion opponents the promise of a more conservative court reconstituted by Bush."

I can just hear the screams of horror from N.O.W.
Countdown to the next march on Wahsington in 5, 4, 3, 2....

***UPDATE***

Here is a sobering statistic from the article:
"Kennedy wrote in his opinion that of the approximately 1.3 million abortions performed each year in the United States, 85 to 90 percent are done during the first trimester of pregnancy, meaning that they are not regulated by the 2003 law."

Wow, just wow.
