Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Challenge to Ruling Against Anti-Abortion Oklahoma Ultrasound Law 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The U.S. Supreme Court has let stand a ruling striking down an Oklahoma
law requiring women seeking abortions to undergo an ultrasound. The law
would have forced women to view the ultrasound image and then have the
image described to them in detail. On Tuesday, justices refused to hear
a challenge to the ruling that barred the law last year. The move came
one week after the court also let stand an Oklahoma court ruling
striking down restrictions on the pill form of abortion.
