Rhetoric aside, the decision in Webster revealed that there are now four Justices who want to keep the right to abortion intact, four who would like to overturn Roe and give the states wider discretion to restrict abortion, and one -- Justice O'Connor -- who cannot be placed with certainty in either camp. In past abortion cases, O'Connor has said she would allow state restrictions as long as they are not "unduly burdensome." But, abortion-rights advocates say, she has yet to meet a burden she considers to be undue. Among those that have passed O'Connor's standard: requiring...
...decade and a half, the abortion issue has made extremists and hypocrites of us all -- pro-choicers enshrining trimesters in the Constitution, pro-lifers using an ostensible concern for the mother's health to restrict the mother's freedom of choice.

Encouraged by frustrated U.S. trade groups and corporations, legislators had Japan in mind when they passed the provision -- dubbed Super 301 -- as part of last year's trade bill. After listening to the conflicting advice of his evenly divided Cabinet, Bush responded to the prevailing protectionist mood in Congress and gave Trade Representative Carla Hills the go-ahead to put Japan on the Super 301 hit list, along with Brazil and India...
