The Bush administration has asked the Supreme Court to reinstate a ban on a procedure that critics call partial birth abortions, setting up a showdown stanley cup that could be decided by the president s new choice for the court.The appeal, which had been expected, follows a two-year, cross-country legal fight over the federal law.An appeals court in St. Louis said this summer that the ban on late term abortion is unconstitutional because it makes no exception for the health of the woman. In June, a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond came to the same conclusion on Virginia s version of the law. The Supreme Court has already scheduled arguments in November in another abortion case, involving New Hampshire s parental notification statute.
