Abstract
abortion is one of the most controversial topics of the American society. Even after Roe v Wade, a 1973 ruling of the supreme court permitting abortion, the debate has always been of topical interest. In this feature of The Economist published on the 4th of March 2006, a South Dakota's bill that would entirely ban abortion is considered. The reconstituted supreme court, after the nomination of John Roberts and Samuel Alito as Justices, will probably have to rule on that state decision. But the journalist rather presents this event as a symbol, and insists on the fact that other threats hang over the thirty-three-year-old abortion right. After a summary of the article, I will comment upon abortion in the USA, the role the supreme court has to play in this skirmish and the political consequences of a decision concerning abortion.
