Dear Cold Heat,

Although the Supreme Court has not taken up the federal partial birth abortion ban, every state partial birth abortion ban has so far been struck down by the courts, and the Supreme Court has held that Roe did not permit Nebraska's ban of partial birth abortions.

As so far interpreted by the courts, Roe does not permit a ban of partial birth abortions.

Yet, very large majorities of the American people favor such a ban.

Looks like very large majorities of the American people don't agree with what Roe mandates.

The problem resides in the lack of the exception clause regarding rape, incest and health.

It is the health clause that needs court limitations, and I believe that can be done without violating Roe.

The Nebraska case is a good example of this. Without the clause, it is deemed unconstitutional, but if the health portion was clarified and restricted, it might well be possible to pass all of these restrictions.

I think the majority would approve as well.
