...Wisconsin, Ohio, South Carolina, Michigan and, of course, Missouri, where strong grass-roots organizations already exist and the legislatures are larded with sympathetic officials. Pro- lifers will attempt to go well beyond the provisions in the Missouri statute. In some states bills may be introduced that would make a woman seeking an abortion listen to the fetal heartbeat and look at pictures of a fetus at the same level of development as hers...

Only 31% favor new state laws restricting access to abortion, while 57% oppose such limitations...

They fear that any breach in the constitutional barrier -- that is, any role for the democratic process in settling the abortion issue -- will condemn women to mass death by coat hanger.
