Supreme Court Questions Abortion Order In Case Of Fetus With Heartbeat

The Supreme Court has issued a temporary halt to a previous order permitting the termination of a 26-week pregnancy.

The court, in response to a government request, expressed the need to hear from the woman involved before making a new decision.
