Court Rejects Challenge to Mississippi Abortion Law
The Mississippi law would require women to wait 24 hours before ending a pregnancy. Justices left intact a ruling denying abortion clinics a hearing to block the law before it took effect last August. The dispute centered on whether women may sue soon after enactment for an undue burden on their constitutional right.
