Supreme Court Rejects Bid to Reinstate Arizona 20-Week Abortion Ban 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a bid by Arizona to revive a ban on
abortion at 20 weeks, leaving in place a lower ruling blocking the law.
Several other states have passed similar bans, but Arizona's was
considered the strictest because it took effect at 18 weeks
post-fertilization.
