My understanding is that, as you say, Roe v. Wade does allow the prohibition of abortions after the third trimester. However, it requires an exception for the life and health of the mother.
This bill would allow an exception for the life of the mother, but not for the health.
(If any DU constitutional scholars know differently, please let us know. Last time I was in Con Law class was junior year of college.)
