But, i think in practice, this is sort of a "chip away at abortion rights" ruling and the language seems to leave open the possibility of a further extending of this concept to even more restrictive rulings in the future. I cant help but think this is part of a larger plan , rather than a end in itself. The case itself almost seems as if its hand picked to deliver this "mild" ruling, but sets itself up as a potential benchmark to use in more invasive rulings in the future.

well yeah, of course it is. I dont think it will ever be ruled out completely, but I've no problem admitting that there is a wider agenda here, some of which I have agreed with. This is not really unique however, it seems to be how many things get done in this country, on both sides of the coin.
