ND bans abortion... again

North Dakota has long been at the forefront of the movement to ban abortion at the state level. They have passed a number of laws which made abortion illegal, all of which have been struck down by state or federal courts. Now, they have tried it again with a law to "declare that a fertilized egg has all the rights of any person". Lawmakers feel this law will pass Supreme Court muster because it follows the language of Roe v. Wade by defining when life begins.

Personally, I doubt it will succeed. Although, it may be useful in defining the limits and boundaries of Roe v. Wade.
