Yet another reason why I still love Bill Clinton.
U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton, ruling in one of three lawsuits challenging the legislation President Bush signed last year, said the first substantial law limiting a woman's right to choose was an unconstitutional infringement of three decades of Supreme Court precedent.
"The act poses an undue burden on a woman's right to choose an abortion," Hamilton wrote in her 120-page opinion.
Clinton appointed this judge, obviously. Today is a day for celebration and giant applause for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, an amazing organization.
