In news that cheered conservatives, the Supreme Court Wednesday morning ruled by a vote of 5-4 to uphold the ban on partial-birth abortion.



While continuous news desk reporter David Stout's online take [1] on the story was balanced, a post from Times editor Sarah Wheaton (a bit of a Hillary fan [2]?) on the Times' political blog "The Caucus [3]" used standard, awkwardliberal [4]media terminology [4]in describing the partial-birth abortion ban.



"Several of the candidates have already put out statements regarding today's 5-4 Supreme Court decision upholding a nationwide ban on what opponents of the procedure call partial-birth abortion."
