So what happens after Perry's special session passes the onerous abortion legislation: Injunction
A challenge in federal court. The 20 week limit hasn't been held up anywhere. It's blatantly unconstitutional. The TRAP law stuff (docs required to have admitting privileges, etc) is a little different but so far, that hasn't worked as a tactic either. Federal courts have thrown out those requirements as onerous obstacles.

I don't think the RU-486 restrictions will fly either and they'll certainly be challenged as well, as will the requirements that clinics meet standards for ambulatory surgical centers.

The bill would require abortions, including those induced by drugs, to be performed in so-called ambulatory surgical centers. The regulations for such facilities include specific sizes for rooms and doorways, and additional infrastructure like pipelines for general anesthesia and large sterilization equipment.

This legislation, like so much of the anti-choice legislation passed recently in state after state is designed as a challenge to Roe- and that's the greatest danger. Sooner or later, and probably sooner, the SCOTUS will take up one of these cases.
