Operational: Law is currently in effect & operates according to the intent of the original legislation.
Enjoined: State court has prohibited from being in effect because they say the restrictions violate their state constitution.
Pending: Law is not currently in effect.
Restrictions on Late-Term Abortions: There are limits on postviability abortions in accordance with U.S. Supreme Court
requirments allowing them when necessary to preserve the women's life or health.  There are 17 states that have additional laws
regarding postviablity abortions.
Mandatory Wait: Women must have state-directed counseling and wait for the specified time prior to the abortion.
24 Hours ** : Two visits to a health care provider are required because the counseling must be provided orally and in person.
Counseling Only: Must get state-directed counseling in order to get an abortion, but there is not a waiting period required.
NOTE: Each state provides state-funded abortions to the extent dictated by the 1993 Clinton regulations (rape, incest, & life of
the mother).  States that offer financial assistance in addition to these circumstances are differentiated by "Operational".
