Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Unconstitutional

The latest attempt to ban partial-birth abortions, this time at the federal level, has failed:

In a highly anticipated ruling, a federal judge found the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act unconstitutional Thursday because it does not include a health exception.

U.S. District Judge Richard C. Casey in Manhattan said the Supreme Court has made it clear that a law that prohibits the performance of a particular abortion procedure must include an exception to preserve a woman's life and health.

I'm not surprised. This was a political stunt, not legislation.
