Supreme Court Split Over Roe Ruling and Abortion Limits
The article recounts five justices agreeing to scrap Blackmun's trimester framework, with Rehnquist White and Scalia ready to overturn Roe v Wade, while OConor and Kennedy resist. Missouri's prohibition in state hospitals is upheld, but the court stays away from a broader moral debate. It warns that teen welfare mothers may face tougher barriers to abortion, raising social costs. The Missouri law's conception clause is deemed non operative, and the text notes debates over fetus lung maturity tests.
