Sweeping anti-abortion laws proposed

Legislators in at least five states are proposing bold anti-abortion
measures as the Bush administration reshapes the U.S. Supreme Court, a
report said.
With the goal of challenging the Roe vs. Wade ruling that ensured a woman's
right to an abortion, lawmakers in Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, South Dakota and
Tennessee propose banning all abortions except when the woman's life is in
danger, Stateline.org reported. If enacted, legal experts said the laws
would be the first absolute abortion bans since the landmark 1973 ruling.
However, some abortion foes worry that state bans could backfire especially
since five pro-Roe justices remain in the Supreme Court. It's as predictable
as the sun rising that lower courts would strike down such state bans, said
Americans United for Life Director Clarke Forsythe. It would be better to
pass legislation "that can be enforced," such as parental notification
requirements and fetal pain warnings, the constitutional lawyer told the
state issues organization.
