State Legislatures Fall Well Below the Mendoza Line of Incompetent Legislating


New Abortion Restrictions in States Are 0 for 8 in Courts.  (Bloomberg, 8/19/2013)

Excerpt:   State legislatures trying to curtail abortions have suffered a 0-for-8 losing streak after court challenges to their new laws this year. 

The laws, all but one signed by Republican governors, drew on ideas from a playbook created by an anti-abortion group. Democrats plan to use the attempted curbs to boost 2014 congressional fundraising and increase voter support, calling the laws part of a “War on Women.”

Among the states whose laws are being challenged:
  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Idaho
  • Mississippi
  • North Dakota
  • Wisconsin
