"It seems to me the law is highly suspect, if not a per se violation of the Constitution," Kopf said.

Lousy, rotten, murder-abetting liar. His ruling, and the whole legally torturous, creaking, haphazard, illogical basis of the Roe v. Wade decision is what is unconstitutional.

The Fifth Amendment has words to the effect that:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

So what due process of law is there for the victim of PBA, or any abortion procedure? There is no due process at the tips of the scissors that open the skull, or the suction tube that removes the infant's brains.

They've received due process- abortion is legal, in many states by statute.

If you think due process amounts to more than that, you've bought wholesale into substantive due process, where most of the extra-constitutional 14th Amendment jurisprudence comes from.
