| Description | Court Cancels Roe V. Wade Consideration
The Honolulu Advertiser
Oral arguments on a motion to reconsider the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion 31 years ago have been canceled by a federal appeals court.
Monday's move represented an about-face by justices on giving Jane Roe (aka Norma McCorvey) of Roe v. Wade fame a chance to argue before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that her landmark abortion case should be reopened and reversed, the San Antonio Express-News reported Tuesday.
Allan Parker, director of the San Antonio-based Texas Justice Foundation, which represents McCorvey, said he was surprised.
The 5th Circuit panel could have done several things: reverse the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, reverse the 2003 lower court's decision to throw out McCorvey's motion and order it be granted a hearing, or affirm the lower court's decision, which would prompt McCorvey to take her motion to the Supreme Court. |
