SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A controversial ban on late-term abortions signed into law by President Bush (news - web sites) last year was ruled unconstitutional on Tuesday by a judge making the first court decision on the law.

San Francisco-based U.S. District Court Judge Phyllis Hamilton said the law was unconstitutional because it was vague and posed an "undue burden" on abortion rights. Hamilton also ruled against the law because it lacked an exemption to protect a mother's health.
