Tests of ‘Roe’ more frequent since justices upheld late-term abortion ban in ’07

Robert Barnes writes in The Washington Post: “Mike Flood, the 35-year-old speaker of Nebraska’s legislature, had a problem: He wanted to stop the state’s well-known abortion provider from offering late-term abortions. A long line of Supreme Court precedents seemed to stand in his way. But Flood believes that a 2007 decision offers hope for him and other state legislators looking for ways to restrict abortion.”
