Out of all the partial birth abortions they've done, I'll bet the # where the "mother" was actually in any danger is ZERO.

How is this unconstitutional? I want an esplanaton Lucy. Cite the paragraph in the Constitution that protects crotches. Must be another one of those inferred meanings.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

It is time for a Constitutional Amendment to end abortion. I am so sick of judges basing insane abortion decisions on "settled" abortion law. Roe vs Wade is a farce, it either needs to be overturned or a constitutional amendment.

barred by the courts, is unconstitutional because it does not include an exception when the health of a pregnant woman is at risk

It also does not include exceptions for your pet kangaroo's malaria, or if the carburetor on your vintage Chevy SuperSport isn't set to optimize the fuel/air mixture. If you have figured out that none of these has any impact on the health of the mother, you will understand that the caveat is merely a smokescreen.

Two federal appeals courts yesterday upheld rulings that the Partial Birth Abortion Act, passed by Congress in 2003 but barred by the courts, is unconstitutional because it does not include an exception when the health of a pregnant woman is at risk.

If these judges want to be legislators so badly, they need to resign from the bench and run for Congress...'cause they're destroying the republic!

I will die happy if I know this curse of late-term abortion (and for that matter, all abortion) has been expunged from American society. I'm not very optimistic, since we can't even build a solid fence between the USA @ Mexico. We can build 745 abortion clinics, but no secured border.

Ummm .. I thought it did include an exception when the health of a pregnant woman is at risk???

If a guy has a "part" of himself inside a woman, can we kill him? This is the rationale for PBA.

[Young Scholar]

Assuming Alito joins the conservative, the law should be upheld by the SCOTUS. Kennedy supports Roe, but I think he also supports reasonable restrictions such as the PBA ban.

[winner3000]

People want the life of the mother to be protected. The abortionists want a "health" exemption because the word health can be expanded to mean anything, including "mental health" which can include:"I want to abort my child because I feel like it and I'll be happier once it's aborted. Since I'll be happier, I'll be in better mental health!"

[MonroeDNA]

FR: ALl abortion, all the time!

Apply the same logic to death row and you can suck the brains out of them as long as at least 1 foot is within the prison.

[Tarkin]

I have a different question. Where does the Constitution empower the Congress to regulate abortions? Did they use the Commerce Clause? If that was the rationale, then the law should be invalidated, but not for the reasons presented by NARAL.
