The United States Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Partial Birth Abortion Ban has caused upset on the left in a way that I thought only George Bush or Dick Cheney could trigger.

This decision was slightly shocking in that the Justice Kennedy chose to include very descriptive language to make the point that Partial Birth Abortion is a horrifying procedure that reasonable people do not support.

In reality, this decision merely offers the Right a slight appeasement and may actually ignite the far Left. We'll see what impact the decision has over the next few months as NOW and other left leaning groups continue their efforts to scare women into believing we are on the verge of returning to pre-Suffrage times.

I have written a fairly long commentary on the decision- too long for the blog. Click here to read it
