In their outraged response to yesterday's anti-partial-birth-abortion ruling, the Washington Post's editorialists trot out a fascinating defense of "the procedure known as partial-birth abortion," as in this response to Justice Kennedy's assertion that this abortion ban can withstand legal challenge when "medical uncertainty persists."

"Tell that to a woman whose doctor believes that performing the partial-birth procedure would provide a better chance of allowing her to bear children in the future," the Post sniffs. Wasn't it the liberal mind that once derided arguments about having to destroy a village in order to save it?
