Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Challenge to Kentucky’s Ultrasound Informed Consent Law

Here is a link to a Lifenews story about the Court’s refusal to grant a cert petition from a Kentucky abortion clinic that had unsuccessfully challenged a Kentucky law that requires that abortion doctors perform ultrasounds and show and describe fetal images to patients before abortions, as well as play an audible heartbeat of the fetus. The Sixth Circuit (by a 2-1 vote) had rejected a First Amendment challenge to the Kentucky law and the US Supreme Court (without comment) refused to hear the case.
