"The ban is presently being challenged by Federal judges"The fed law is not being challenged by judges. THe law is being challenged by planned parenthood and the docs that are a part of, and back them.
" I think you are confused with the points Cyber and I are trying to make."
I am not confused. Your points are either irrelevant, and or just flat wrong. Also Cyber isn't arguing anything here. "AG is within his rights to bulldoze into medical records"
He is not bulldozing into med records. The docs opened them up for viewing with their claims and testimony. There is no ID given with the records. What part of, "there is no privacy concern" don't you get?
"questionable infringement of civil rights"
The right involved here is the right to life. Their are no privacy rights involved. "will lead to an open door on the infringement of the rights"
This case has bearing on the right to life and whether the courts will restrain themselves to honoring the truth and uphold the law. That is it.

Judges Prevent PBA Ban from Taking Effect
Friday, November 07, 2003
By Sam Kastensmidt
"Shortly after President Bush signed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 into law, three judges (in three separate circuits) issued injunctions to prevent the enforcement of the new ban. Thus, abortionists will be permitted to perform partial-birth abortions, regardless of the newly passed legislation."

If the ban is NOT in effect and you have yet to prove it is, as I have proved that it is questionable and probably not, given the blocks from these three federal judges, Ashcroft is probably NOT within his right to enforce this ban as of yet and does not have the rights to subpoena the records.
