The Alito effect

Didn't take them long, did it? According to Stateline.org:
With the Bush administration's reshaping of the U.S. Supreme Court, legislators in at least five states are proposing bold anti-abortion measures with a goal of challenging Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that ensured a woman’s right to an abortion.

Despite recent national polls indicating that a majority of Americans do not want abortion to be outlawed, lawmakers in at least five states -- Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, South Dakota and Tennessee -- have offered bills that seek to ban all abortions, except when the woman’s life is in danger.
The Plains states of North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota seem to be the most anxious to nix Roe. Last year, the North Dakota legislature rushed to pass "a resolution urging Congress to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would overturn Roe v. Wade and ban abortion throughout pregnancy."
