South Dakota Lawmakers To Vote On Banning Nearly All Abortions...
FIREWORKS: Supreme Court takes up late-term abortion...
The Supreme Court said Tuesday it would consider reinstating a federal ban on what opponents call partial-birth abortion, (Its advocates call it happy-go-lucky sunsplash time. - F. G.) pulling the contentious issue back to the high court on conservative Justice Samuel Alito's first day.
Alito could well be the tie-breaking vote when the court decides if doctors can be barred from performing the abortion procedure.
It is the first time the court has considered a federal restriction on abortion, and conservatives said they expect the membership change to affect the outcome.
"This is the frontline abortion case in the country," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law and Justice, who represents members of Congress in the case.
