AP reports that the Supreme Court has upheld the federal ban on partial-birth abortion, 5-4. Justice Kennedy has been the traditional swing vote between those “liberal” and “conservative,” so one wonders whether we have a de facto tyrant. :)

This is a band-aid on the use of the federal government to override the states’ decisions on abortion. At least the Court has decided one time to err on the side of life.

Update, 4:23pm: The case is Gonzales vs. Carhart (PDF).
