Wisconsin high court to hear arguments on whether an 1849 abortion ban remains valid (www.npr.org)

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Monday on whether a law that legislators adopted more than a decade before the Civil War bans abortion and can still be enforced.

Abortion rights advocates stand an excellent chance of prevailing, given that liberal justices control the court and one of them remarked on the campaign trail that she supports abortion rights. Monday's arguments are little more than a formality ahead of a ruling, which is expected to take weeks.

"The court's three conservative justices have accused the liberals of playing politics with abortion."

It is to laugh!
