This backbencher has not accomplished a tiny fraction of what James Dobson has. How frequently we hear the mewlings of his type against his betters. Everyone with a brain knows that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban is just the beginning... the chink in the armor that will be an inestimable help to those who truly seek the end of abortion, not just to see their names in the paper.

I agree wholeheartedly. As much as we would like Roe v. Wade overturned yesterday, that isn't how our judiciary works. Conservative justices in particular will not come out and overturn a longstanding (much too longstanding) precedent without laying the groundwork first. Hopefully, state legislatures will continue to create laws which test various aspects of Roe v. Wade, and the Supreme Court will continue circumscribe the scope of that decision. Eventually, when there is a good case and solid majority and Roe v. Wade is more full of holes than Swiss Cheese, they will take the last step and turn things back over to the states.
Dobson didn't write the current decision. He simply said it was a step in the right direction. This kind of "i'm more idealogically pure" attack on one's own side serves no purpose other than self-aggrandizement.
Interesting that the National Right To Life organization has chastised the Colorado organization for getting it wrong.
