The States Move On Abortion (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Roe v Wade may be the law of the land, but at the state level – state legislatures and ballots – Roe v Wade and abortion are under attack right now like never before.
 
Last week, North Dakota joined the movement, passing the toughest restrictions on abortion in the country. Abortion forbidden from as early as six weeks. No abortion for disease or deformity. A state constitutional amendment lofted that would deny abortion even in the case of rape or incest.

Legal scholars say it all flunks Roe v Wade. North Dakota says, ‘let’s go to court’.

This hour, On Point: states throwing down the gauntlet to Roe v Wade.
