SCOTUS Vacates Lower Court Ruling: Illegal Immigrants Do Not Have a Right to Abortion

Supreme_Court_Building_at_DuskChoosing not to wrestle with the larger picture the US Supreme Court elected to vacate a lower court which ruled that illegal immigrants who arrived in the U.S. pregnant had the right to abortion.

The Supreme Court on Monday erased a lower appeals court’s ruling that had found illegal immigrant teens in federal custody had a constitutional right to abortions facilitated by the U.S. government.

The ruling, delivered in an unsigned opinion, does not settle the big constitutional issues, but it does reset the playing field, erasing a precedent that had said illegal immigrants had abortion rights similar to an American held in government custody.

Given the subject matter and the left’s obsession with it, we’ll be seeing more of this in the future.
