Description | The Supreme Court said yesterday that it will broaden its review of whether a federal law banning a controversial abortion method is constitutional, taking the second case in four months that will reveal whether the court has shifted significantly on abortion rights with two new conservative members.
The court agreed to rule next term on a California case in which a federal appeals court struck down the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, a statute that was a political victory for abortion opponents but that lower courts have been finding unconstitutional. |
