High Court bypasses abortion controversy
The Supreme Court again refused to rule on abortion clinic regulation, leaving in place a lower court's strike on Chicago Board of Health rules. Only Justice White wanted review. The decision follows the high court's 1973 ruling expanding abortion rights and leaves state and city powers unsettled. Contempt verdicts from the Chicago Seven case and related appeals were also noted.
