Our editorial :

It is good that the Court has offered back a limited measure of democratic authority over abortion policy. The major theoretical concession in Justice Anthony Kennedy’s majority opinion — that the courts should make sure laws against partial-birth abortion are not misapplied — may not in practice prove important. Pro-abortion litigators, we suspect, are going to have a hard time finding cases in which laws against partial-birth abortion can plausibly be said to have been applied too broadly. But let’s not forget how far four justices are willing to go in defense of abortion.

Opinions on from Ed Whelan, Rick Garnett, Matt Franck, and Wendy Long in Bench Memos.

Mark Levin :

The radical pro-abortion movement will mischaracterize this decision. They will claim it’s a huge setback for choice. Their purpose will be to mobilize their forces against any limits, no matter how reasonable or narrow. And the Democrat presidential candidates will issue scathing and misinformed (perhaps intentionally) statements about the supposedly right-wing Supreme Court. But, in truth, they have much to celebrate today. Anthony Kennedy has already signaled his true intentions. And I have no doubt the pro-abortion movement is already looking for its next case.
