WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court turned down efforts by Michigan and an anti-abortion group Monday to revive the state's law banning the procedure opponents call partial-birth abortion.
The justices did not comment on their decision to let stand a ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The appeals court said the law is unconstitutional because it could also prohibit other abortion procedures.
The U.S. high court in April upheld a federal law banning the abortion method.
The cases are Cox v. Northland Family Planning, 07-313, and Standing Together to Oppose Partial-Birth Abortion v. Northland Family Planning, 07-291.
