(2003-11-07) — A Federal Judge in San Fransciso today decided to terminate the new partial-birth abortion ban law in its first trimester.
“It’s an unwanted law,” said the unnamed judge. “I’m exercising my right to choose to end it. Besides, even though Congress passed it and the President signed it, it’s only a couple of days old and one could argue that it’s not technically even a law yet.”
The judge said his decision is correct because two other federal judges — in Nebraska and New York — agree with him.
