Meanwhile, the court’s decision, with its virtual blanket ban that glibly dismisses the value of a woman’s health, stands to put women in danger today. Despite the ignorant claims of the court’s majority, intact dilation and extraction can rescue women from grave medical situations. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists supports the procedure as necessary at times and safest for late-term abortions. As upheld, the law only provides an exception when the woman’s life is at risk, denying doctors the broad discretion they must have...

...force, said the chief justice had become concerned that the criminal justice system was, in effect, becoming the state's mental health care system, where jails are poor substitutes for failing and too few mental health care facilities. The Cho shootings will bring even closer scrutiny of the imminent danger language in the state's assisted treatment laws, according to Zdanowicz. And retired Virginia state police superintendent Col.
