KO on VA late-term abortion law

A federal judge has taken down some or most of Virginia's late term abortion law, preventing pregnancy termination in the 2nd and 3rd trimester, upon which the federal law Bush and all those fat, old white men signed with big grins was written.

Doctors keep saying that late-term abortions are fairly rare and that they are usually only performed when the mother's life is in jeopardy. They've said this issue has been inflated and twisted for political purposes to satisfy the anti-choice people. I tend to believe them.

I'd like to see the federal ban looked at with fresh eyes - perhaps not all just by fat white men sucking on the fat teat of the right wing - in light of this decision.
