Editor's note: On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court gave anti-abortion forces a victory by banning so-called partial-birth abortions. Criticisms of the court's abortion rulings have been numerous since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. As professor of law at University of California at Berkeley, John T.

We have to move fast but I'm confident that whatever programmes that we had agreed upon would bear fruit," he told Malaysian reporters covering his visit.
