Fourth Circuit Will Rehear Partial Birth Abortion Case
Mailee Smith reports on the Americans United Blog:
In an important 6-4 decision today, the Fourth Circuit announced that it will rehear en banc a case involving the constitutionality of Virginia’s partial birth abortion ban. The original panel of three appellate judges had originally declared the statute—with provisions nearly identical to that of the Supreme Court-affirmed federal ban—unconstitutional.
SCOTUS Blog also reports on the situation and links to the one paragraph 4th Circuit order
agreeing to rehear the case.
The earlier ruling is here: Richmond Medical Center v. Herring.
