| High court hears abortion notification case
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/11/30/scotus.abortion.ap/ Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court wrestled Wednesday with a New Hampshire law that requires a parent to be told before a daughter ends her pregnancy, with no hint the justices were ready for a dramatic retreat on abortion rights under their new chief.
The court is dealing with its first abortion case in five years, as well as the first in the brief tenure of Chief Justice John Roberts.
The case does not challenge the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that declared abortion a fundamental constitutional right, and the justices seemed to be seeking a compromise that would avoid breaking new ground.
