Mr. Motte Brown does not share my optimism.[1] He rightly notes that this does not really limit access to abortions, and that the alternative procedures are at least as gruesome as that which has been banned.
This is the first ban on abortion in any form to be upheld though. That is something to celebrate; it would not have happened before President Bush appointed our two newest justices.
