Abortion Supreme Court Oral Argument

Lyle Denniston has a summary of the oral argument before the Supreme Court here. It appears that Justice Kennedy, who wrote a virulently anti-abortion dissent in Stenberg v. Carhart, may be more amenable to striking down the law this time. Chief Justice Roberts, who many, including me, thought might be the only hope for a fifth vote striking down the law, was not very telling during the argument.
