It's about denying control to women

Of their own bodies. The bizarrely stupidly named 'partial-birth abortion' has been banned. More women will now die.

Melissa McEwan of Shakesville:

Five men—Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas—just decided that the health of every woman is America is worth less than a terminally ill fetus.

If there were ever any question about whether the movement behind this ban is “pro-life” or really just “anti-woman,” consider that carrying a terminally ill fetus to term increases a woman’s chances of placental abruption and uterine rupture; if she can even become pregnant again, future pregnancies carry greater risks for both her and the fetus. (And that’s to say nothing of her psychological well-being.)

Does any of that sound like these “pro-lifers” give a diddly shit about healthy women and healthy babies? Of course not. Because it’s not about healthy women and healthy babies; it’s about control.

Mustang Bobby of Bark Bark Woof Woof told us so:

This ruling should not be a surprise. It was only a matter of time before the Court would show that it has become more "conservative" since the election of George W. Bush. I put conservative in quotes since most True Conservatives that I know are appalled at the idea of governmental interference in such a personal decision. That's something they usually accuse liberals of. (Perhaps election should be in quotes as well since it was the Supreme Court's decision in Bush v. Gore that put Mr. Bush in office in 2000, violating another True Conservative tenet -- state's rights.) In fact, I remember pointing out that this would be the consequence of the re-election of Mr. Bush in 2004.
