Newsweek on the future of Roe v. Wade

Newsweek has an article titled Reality Check for 'Roe', which comments on the South Dakota anti-abortion bill and state laws restricting late-term abortions. Earlier I posted some suggestions as to why the South Dakota legislature may have passed the law in the first place. The authors of the Newsweek piece (Martha Brant and Evan Thomas) also believe that the SD bill is unlikely to pass Supreme Court review and go for the "pandering to the base" explanation . It seems that the National Right to Life Committee and Americans United for Life are critical of the bill, exactly because it is unlikely to pass court review.
