In first fallout from abortion ruling,
Supreme Court returns state cases

By Robert Marus

ABP Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (ABP)—In the first fallout from a controversial recent ruling on abortion rights, the Supreme Court April 23 returned two cases—dealing with Virginia and Missouri state laws on “partial-birth” abortions—to lower federal courts for reconsideration.

The decisions mean the effects of the high court’s April 18 Gonzales v. Carhart decision will now filter down to state law — elating abortion opponents and confirming the fears of abortion-rights advocates.

Democratic presidential race
features more faith than usual

By Robert Marus

ABP Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (ABP)—With many Republicans concerned their party’s leading presidential candidates are not sufficiently conservative on social issues, Democrats have what may be their most faith-friendly crop of candidates in recent years.

GOP presidential race again
features faith, but new dynamics

ABP Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (ABP)—With Democratic front-runners talking openly about evangelical-style conversion experiences and Republicans lamenting that none of their top-tier candidates are bona fide social conservatives, experts say the 2008 presidential campaign may rewrite political playbooks on the role of faith.
