Doe vs. Bolton Case not Over Yet says Justice Foundation

SAN ANTONIO, October 12, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Although the US Supreme Court did not give a reason for their decision on October 10th rejecting a bid to re-visit a landmark abortion case, the legal firm representing Sandra Cano speculated that it was to prevent affirming the original 1973 decision.

LifeSiteNews.com reported Wednesday that the Court had refused to hear arguments put forward that Doe vs. Bolton had originally been based on false information. Today, Anne Newman, Director of Communications at the Justice Foundation, told LifeSiteNews.com that even with four ‘conservative’ Justices who might have been willing to hear the case, a fifth vote would have been necessary to win it.

Newman said, “The Court does not have to give a reason for its decisions, but we can speculate that they wanted to avoid a situation in which the Doe v. Bolton decision was re-affirmed. We can guess that they talked to the other members and found that they didn’t have the five votes necessary to win.” [Entire Article]
