WASHINGTON — Marriage is the foundation of the natural family and sustains family values. That sentence is inflammatory, perhaps even a hate crime.

USAToday: Court takes harder stance on abortion
Analysis by Joan Biskupic, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s abortion ruling Wednesday revealed the new court’s approach to one of the most difficult social issues and was a reminder of its rightward turn since the addition of Bush appointee Samuel Alito.
The 5-4 decision, reinstating a ban on the procedure opponents call “partial-birth abortion,” departed from past rulings by giving legislatures more latitude to restrict abortion, particularly when there is debate among physicians over the safety of a procedure. The decision will make it harder for abortion rights advocates to challenge new restrictions on abortion.

Defend innocent life
By Sam Brownback January 22, 2007 Each January from all corners of the nation, hundreds of thousands descend upon the nation’s capital.

The arguments the Supreme Court will hear on Wednesday on the constitutionality of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act promise much more than a resumption of a familiar debate over a method of terminating a pregnancy.
