Just as I predicted, the partial-birth ban has been frozen by a NY Federal Court. I also predict that the ban will be struck down as unconstitutional, just like all attempts thus far to whittle away at Roe v Wade. Way to go conservatives! Put your religious agenda ahead of the health and well-being of women in this country!

Right, because right there in the opening line of the constitution it says that abortion should be legal..

Right, because you're an authority on all things constitutional.

In 1973, in the landmark Roe v Wade case, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provided a fundamental right for women to obtain abortions. So yes, it's a matter of federal constitutional law.

And of course the Supreme Court is never, ever wrong.
Regarding the Dred Scott case:

"Chief Justice Roger B. Taney -- a staunch supporter of slavery -- wrote the majority opinion for the court. It stated that because Scott was black, he was not a citizen and therefore had no right to sue. The decision also declared the Missouri Compromise of 1820, legislation which restricted slavery in certain territories, unconstitutional. "

So slavery had to be OK, because the Supreme Court said so!

Way to change the topic. I never said the USSC was necessarily right or wrong. As the ultimate arbiter of U.S. law, however, until they change their collective minds - their decision(s) are the rule of the land. As of this moment, abortion is a constitutionally-protected right. Don't like it? Too bad - go try and change their minds about it. Good luck. 🙂

Like I said before, with Bush probably gonna elect 3 new supreme court judges, this is the best time the anti-abortion crowd to push for the change, and I predict they will suceed.
In an essence, this kinda cheapening the law of this country. They can flip flop a decision depends who's in power.
