This story speaks for itself.
The US Supreme Court agreed to hear a key abortion case on late-term pregnancy terminations, in an early test of how the newly remade court will rule on an issue cleaving American politics.
The US government is appealing rulings by lower courts that a 2003 law banning the procedures decried by opponents as "partial-birth abortion" is unconstitutional, mainly because it fails to make exceptions for a mother's health.
The case will be closely watched for clues on how President George W. Bush's picks for chief justice, John Roberts, and associate justice, Samuel Alito, will rule on abortion.
The 2003 legislation outlawing partial birth abortions is at issue here.
Any guesses as to how this will turn out?
