The Nebraska brief argues that the ban does not place an "undue burden" on women seeking abortions in general.
Stating the obvious.
Judge Kopf also overturned the law by claiming that it was unconstitutional because it did not contain an exception allowing the controversial abortion procedure to protect the health of the mother.
It's old-saw, but how is Roe constitutional in the first place?
Now, for the best part:
In the brief, the Bush administration says the courts have routinely deferred to Congressional findings on important legal matters. Calling their bluff: IS this a judicial tyranny or a constitutional republic? WILL we have legal abortion as a blight upon the landscape even if 99% of the population were opposed?
This is brilliant strategy.
A "liberal" mandate:
N.K. defector claims forced abortions
A North Korean defector testified to have witnessed forced abortions and infanticide at a detention camp in North Korea.
"I heard the cries of both mother and child through the curtain (at a hospital). And through the partially open curtain, I witnessed the nurse covering the infant's face with a wet towel on a table, suffocating it," a 28-year-old identified as Park Sun-ja told an international conference on North Korean human rights abuses Tuesday.
"The baby stopped crying about ten minutes later," added Park, whose real name was not provided to protect her.
