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
