*sigh* Try sometime to write legislation that will withstand Clintonian hairsplitting. It can't be done. The drafters' aim was a tad more modest but daunting enough for mere mortals: i.e., write a PBA law that will withstand constitutional scrutiny by the current SCOTUS. If O'Connor who wrote the majority opinion in Stenberg is true to her word, they will have succeeded.
Since D and E procedures are typically performed as late as the 24th week (Taber's/Medline/various other sources), I've already stated the law wouldn't achieve as much. It also doesn't roll back rent control laws or the designated hitter rule, among other failings.
