Supreme Court Limits State Bans on Early Abortions
The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that states cannot prohibit abortions in the first six months, upholding a woman’s right to privacy. The decision, striking down Texas and parts of Georgia laws, directs decisions about early pregnancy to the woman and her physician, with states allowed only health-related regulations in the second trimester and potential restrictions in the final months to protect the mother. Justice Blackmun wrote for the majority. Justices White and Rehnquist dissented.
