"The US Supreme Court says it will rule on whether to uphold the first federal ban on an abortion procedure since terminations were made legal in 1973. It will be the first time an abortion case has come before the court since President George W Bush appointed a new conservative judge to the bench. The case concerns a law passed in 2003 that banned a form of late abortion. The law was never enacted because an appeals court said it made no exception to protect a pregnant mother's health... A number of states have already introduced their own bans on the partial-birth procedure, but the federal legislation would outlaw it across America."
