Before President Bush signed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 into law, abortion advocates rallied liberal judges who called the ban unconstitutional because there was no exception for the life or health of the mother. Wendy Wright is with Concerned Women for America explains.

“Those that favor a ban say that Congress did its homework and found that partial-birth abortion is never medically necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother.”

Abortion groups argue the ban is overbroad and vague, but Wright says they’re just blowing smoke.

“So the court has a pretty clear case in front of them and it comes down to this, is the dismemberment of a mostly born, unborn baby, constitutional?”

Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding the constitutionality of the ban. The last time they ruled in favor of partial-birth abortion was in 2000 – when mostly liberal justices sat on the bench. Douglas Johnson with National Right to Life says this case is going to be a test of our new Supreme Court.

“But we’re hopeful, there have been a couple of changes in the makeup of the Supreme Court since then, and so we – although we are not predicting what they’ll do, we are hopeful that they will vote to uphold this law.”

Wright urges you to pray for November 8 th: for the lawyers fighting for life, and for the Supreme Court Justices, that their hearts may be turned toward mercy for the un-born.
