There was some debate in these parts in August about Judge Casey’s partial-birth-abortion decision. While knocking down the ban (blame the Supremes), during the course of the trial, and in his ruling, he made some breakthrough points (see Shannen Coffin), and, in doing so, laid the groundwork for some momentum for an Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act, which you’ll be hearing more about next year. (Some pain info here.) It’s another issue that freaks the feminist Left, because it humanizes “choice.” Can’t have any of that.
