Does it just become law? is it left to stand? is there any way to see how this ends other than that? >> well, you know, if its not challenged, then, yeah, the law does stand. unless you can take it to court and get a preliminary injunction or an injunction against the enforcement of it, yeah, the law would stand. and heres the thing. this hostility to womens abortion rights doesnt stop with abortion. what were seeing across the board really is hostility to womens reproductive health care rights....
