Supreme Court upholds abortion rights in Guam case
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, refused to revive Guam’s nearly ban on abortion, preserving Roe v. Wade precedents. The ruling aligns with lower courts that struck down the sweeping Guam law and signals ongoing battles over state limits and clinic blockades in coming cases. Anita Arriola, attorney for Guam advocates, hailed the decision as a strong affirmation.
High court ric has abortion ruling and other decisions
The Supreme Court sustained a woman's basic right to abortion by refusing to revive a Guam law prohibiting most abortions. It also allowed Peggy Buckey to pursue malicious prosecution in the McMartin Pre-School trial, and agreed to decide how quickly Social Security disability fee petitions must be pursued. The court will rule on cable regulation for satellite systems, rejected Dr Jeffrey MacDonald appeal, denied custody transfer in a Georgia case, and will reassess punitive damages in a West Virginia oil case. The ruling sends a strong message to legislators nationwide that abortion bans will face limits.
