Aren’t such laws pointless and certain to be overturned because the right to an abortion is now Federally protected via Row v. Wade?

Maybe not. Thomas, Scalia and Alito would almost certainly vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Though he sold us out on Obamacare, Benedict Roberts is supposedly very pro-life, so I think we can count on his vote.
That leaves Kennedy, who the only one who could be consideraed a “moderate” on the court. He voted to uphold the partial birth abortion ban, so their is a chance he’d give us the 5th vote.
I am more optimistic that Kennedy might the North Dakota and Arkansas bans based upon fetal heartbeart. While we know life begins at conception, it should be clear to any thinking person that a human being with a heartbeat is not merely a “clump of cells”.
