That's true, I'm just trying to determine if this is another attempt, or if this is just a rehash of the previous attempt being presented as new news.

Court to hear request to reopen Roe vs. Wade

A federal appeals court in New Orleans will hear arguments next month on whether to grant a request to reconsider the landmark Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.

The appeal came after U.S. District Judge David Godbey in June rejected an attempt by Norma McCorvey, ``Jane Roe'' in the 1973 decision, to have her case re-examined.

McCorvey, 56, now opposes abortion and argues that new evidence shows that the procedure is harmful to women.

After it hears arguments March 2, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could ask Godbey to consider rehearing the case.

Apparently this is the same attempt taken up to the appellate level because the first judge refused to hear it.
