The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal of a Kentucky law requiring doctors to perform ultrasounds and show fetal images to patients before abortions.
Chris KenningLOUISVILLE, Ky. – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal of a Kentucky law requiring doctors to perform ultrasounds and show and describe fetal images to patients before abortions, as well as play an audible heartbeat of the fetus.
"By refusing to review the 6th Circuit's ruling, the Supreme Court has rubber-stamped extreme political interference in the doctor-patient relationship," Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, senior staff attorney at the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, said Monday."This law is not only unconstitutional but, as leading medical experts and ethicists explained, deeply unethical."The Supreme Court has a 5-4 conservative majority, which could affect abortion cases.
The law was"intended to dissuade women from choosing abortion by forcing ultrasound images, detailed descriptions of the fetus and the sounds of the fetal heartbeat on them, against their will, at a time when they are most vulnerable," Hale wrote in a 30-page opinion.
