Supreme Court orders more hearings on abortion law
Posted on: Wednesday, 18 January 2006, 10:26 CST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court, in its first abortion decision since 2000, sent a case back for more hearings on a New Hampshire law requiring notification of a parent before a minor can end her pregnancy.
"We do not revisit our abortion precedents today," retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote for the court in the 10-page opinion. She said that invalidating the entire law, as a U.S. appeals court had done, is not always necessary or justified in cases involving medical emergencies.
