Maybe if you illuminated what this actually means to jane doe who needs an abortion.

Does this relate to cases where she is restricted from it, like the so-called partial birth ban?

Minors needed parental consent or a judge? Obviously all of the above and then some, but I think you need to make it more personal to get a reaction.

I know that there are already three cases challenging the patial-birth ban. Women in their 2nd trimesters. The only detail I know is that in one of the cases the judge is setting aside the ban until it is decided.

I imagine this is the reason for the new legislation. They know this law is going to get struck down - it contradicts Roe v. Wade. So they are doing everything possible to keep it alive - most likely hoping to name a new justice before it can reach the supreme court.

How does this piece help, though?
