SCOTUSBlog says that a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to allow Oklahoma voters to vote on a state constitutional amendment declaring the "personhood" of fetuses may present an opportunity for the court to take a new look at abortion rights:
Although the case is centered on citizens’ right to propose ballot measures, the fact that the state court in blocking Question 761 relied upon the continuing validity of the court’s decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992 could put that precedent in play. And that may be precisely what the supporters of the idea that fetal life should be protected from inception ultimately want to happen.
