Kansas trial
Although I'm sure most of you have heard about this case (http://bit.ly/cQYxzA), I still want to mention it for those who haven't. I feel that the judge made the right decision in not allowing the jury to consider voluntary manslaughter or second-degree murder. In permitting a lesser sentence, he would have set a dangerous legal precedent for similar cases. In fact, some anti-abortion activists, including Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry, were advocating a justifiable homicide defense. This decision strongly supports women's control over their reproductive health.
