SUPREME COURT RULES ON THE FEDERAL ABORTION BAN
This decision shows Bush's appointees have moved the Court in a direction that could further undermine Roe v. Wade and protections for women's health. The Court has given anti-choice state lawmakers the green light to open the flood gates and launch additional attacks on safe, legal abortion, without any regard for women's health.
“For the first time since Roe, the Court blesses a prohibition with no exception protecting a woman's health … the Court's defense of it, cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away at a right declared again and again by this Court -- and with increasing comprehension of its centrality to women’s lives. A decision so at odds with our jurisprudence should not have staying power."
- Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dissent in the Federal Abortion Ban cases (Gonzales v. Carhart and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood)
