Kentucky Abortion Law That Requires Physicians To Display, Describe Ultrasound Survives Supreme Court Appeal

Without explanation or notable dissent, the justices declined to take up the case, which argued that the law violated physicians' First Amendment right of free speech. Lower courts have been divided over "display-and-describe" ultrasound laws. Two federal courts upheld the Kentucky law, but in a similar case out of North Carolina, a separate federal judge struck down the law. The case is just one of many abortion challenges destined for the Supreme Court.
