Administration Lawyers Ask Supreme Court To Reinstate Evil Partial-Birth Abortions Ban

WASHINGTON -- Bush administration lawyers asked the Supreme Court yesterday to reinstate the first federal law banning a late-term abortion procedure, arguing that what critics call "partial-birth" abortion should be outlawed because it is gruesome and is "never medically indicated" as a safer surgical procedure. The government's appeal asks the court to overturn the decision of a U.S. appeals court in St. Louis, which struck down the federal law as unconstitutional. The appeal came on the same day the Senate took up the nomination of John Roberts as chief justice of the United States and highlights the power that President Bush's nominees to the Supreme Court will have.
