- The states can't enforce a law which is unconstitutional under
- Roe v. Wade, because it would be challenged if the state attempted
- to prosecute a doctor for performing a post-viability abortion:
-
- "According to a 1979 survey by Jeanie Rosoff of Planned
- Parenthood's Alan Guttmacher Institute, 30 states have laws regu-
- lating third-trimester abortions. Some of these laws prohibit or
- strictly limit abortions after the fetus has reached viability.
- Some require doctors to try to save abortion live-born babies.
- Only a few states have both types of laws.
-
- In addition, a number of these laws have been found unconstitu-
- tional. Others obviously would be, in light of Supreme Court
- rulings. Virtually all the state laws would be subject to consti-
- tutional challenge if used as the basis of prosecution against an
- individual doctor."

- Sure you have, you just sent some threatening e-mail to my
- system administrators today, and they sent me a copy of it.
- I just posted it to talk.abortion under the subject line
- "Larry Margolis contacts my sysadmins".
