Private Still Means 'None of Your Goddamned Business'

Though the federal government seems to have decided that any medical procedure involving a fetus that is outside the body is infanticide, the judicial branch thankfully still has their wits about them.
A judge in Virginia overturned the partial birth abortion ban, saying it was "impermissibly void for vagueness" because it violates privacy rights and (unlike previous laws in the same vein) it did not make exceptions for procedures in which the life of the mother is threatened. Further, it was worded so vaguely as to make other procedures not included in the ban questionable, if not wholly illegal.
And people get mad at me for harping on them to use specific language...
