Montana legislature passes post-viability abortion law

Montana legislature passes post-viability abortion law: New Montana legislation concerning pregnancies that endanger mothers' lives, after a fetus is deemed potentially viable, restricts physicians from using abortion as a termination method.

MGB:_This seems to fall within the confines of Roe, but not necessarily Doe v Bolton, although Doe was largely overruled by Gonzalez v. Carhart. The question is whether sponsors are serious or are looking for a vehicle to try again to overturn Roe (a strategy that won't work. If the defenders of the law argue that it falls within the limits of Roe, The compromise is reasonable and may prove a model for Congressional action, which would be more appropriate and more likely to be constitutional.
