Default Re: Constiutional thought question

I imagine it would be struck down on the same grounds as Roe v. Wade. If it is unconstitutional for a state to prohibit an abortion it seems like it would be unconstitutional for a state to mandate an abortion. Either way you are removing the choice from the mother thereby violating her privacy or personal liberty or whatever the reasoning behind Roe is. I am actually not too familiar with it. But I would think the same logic would hold here as this law would implicitly require a woman to get an abortion or be faced with criminal charges.
