...prohibits one very specific and very rare type of abortion procedure: Intact Dilation and Extraction (IDX). In IDX, a physician delivers all of a second-trimester fetus’s body except the head, punctures the base of the skull, and then suctions the skull contents before removing the head from the mother’s body...
...Parenthood v. Casey, the Court took up the question of whether the ban of IDX placed an “undue burden” on a woman’s right to abortion.

Malik ’08—forces Martinius to give up his firstborn, who grows up to be the sweet-voiced Rapunzel (Caroline A. Jennings...
...argument is an absurd non sequitur. She argues that because there are false accusations of rape, we should focus on women’s responsibility for their sexual behavior rather than attackers’ guilt. She fails to mention that deliberately false accusations of rape are exceedingly rare; the Duke Lacrosse case is just one sensationalized example. All accounts show that tens of thousands of rape cases each year are unreported or grossly mishandled by medical and legal response centers. She also neglects to explain how changing women’s “sexual behavior” will change...
