:Your addition seems, to me, to be about right.  I would change “All state regulations of late-term abortions have since been found unconstitutional.” to “All state-level total bans of late-term abortions, and late-term abortion procedures, have since been found unconstitutional.” (Since, as I noted above, some regulations of abortion, including late term abortion, have been upheld).  And I would change “This was the first significant abortion regulation that the Supreme Court has allowed since Roe v Wade” to “This was the first complete ban on a particular abortion procedure found to be constitutional since Roe v. Wade”.  This avoids judging the significance of the other regulations that have been upheld (both sides of the debate have called them significant, so I would avoid such sweeping language to the contrary).--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 13:46, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

Article incorrectly states that "Roe provided the underpinning for cases such as Griswold v. Connecticut."  This is impossible since Griswold predated Roe by about 8 years.  One would likely be correct in saying that Griswold provided the underpinning for Roe.
