Appeals Court Ruling on Missouri Partial Birth Abortion Law to be Reconsidered

The United States Supreme Court has told the Federal Appeals Court in St. Louis to reconsider its ruling on Missouri’s partial birth abortion law.

The Supreme Court has upheld a ban on partial birth abortions. The Appeals Court in St. Louis struck down Missouir’s law in 2005. A spokesman for Attorney General Jay Nixon says Nixon will ask the court to vacate its ruling, which will allow the law to go into effect.
