- ## The legislation struck down in Colautti v. Franklin was a Pennsylvania
- ## law; since then Pennsylvania has passed new abortion restrictions. These
- ## were challenged before the Supreme Court. Some parts were struck down,
- ## but the requirement that two doctors be present, one just for the fetus,
- ## and similar provisions also relating to fetal survival in third-trimester
- ## abortions were *not* struck down.
