Federal judge in Nebraska blocks late-term abortion ban

I don't think this is a dupe. The judge has actually issued the ban.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 5 � A federal judge in Nebraska blocked implementation of a federal ban on certain late-term abortions Wednesday, less than an hour after President Bush signed the ban into law.

U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf issued a temporary restraining order against the law after a three-hour hearing on a lawsuit in Nebraska brought by abortion-rights supporters.

He said his order would apply only to the four doctors who filed the lawsuit, but the ruling could extend beyond Nebraska because the physicians are licensed to practice in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, New York, South Carolina and Virginia.

'Tis a "late-term abortion" -- 'Partial Birth Abortion' does not and cannot be a true statement!

5. Proud to be in Lincoln today.

My radio has been talking about "late-term abortions" rather than the made up repub term.
