Supreme Court Backs Abortion Protesters

Im telling ya, this abortion thing is gonna just gonna explode over the next year, and we are already seeing the movement's conception. The high court ruled in favor of pro-life demonstrators today, ending nearly 20 years of litigation. Here is some of the story from the Washington Times:
The Supreme Court dealt a setback today to abortion clinics in a two-decade-old legal fight over anti-abortion protests, ruling that federal extortoin and racketeering laws cannot be used to to ban demonstrations.
The 8-0 decision ends a case that the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had kept alive despite a 2003 ruling by the high court that lifted a nationwide injunction on anti-abortion groups led by Joseph Scheidler and others.


This ruling obviously isnt a huge deal to most people, but I believe its certainly a precursor to events to come, count on it.
