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. This decision was made after the government submitted a medical report indicating that the fetus is “viable” and has a strong chance of survival. The court, in response to a government request, expressed the need to hear from the woman involved before making a new decision.
