Nation IN BRIEF / ARIZONA : Supreme Court OKs Teen’s Late Abortion

From Times Wire Reports

In Phoenix, the Arizona Supreme Court opened the way for a 14-year-old girl to receive a late-term abortion. The high court voted 3-2 to overturn an appeals judge’s ruling Saturday that blocked the girl from heading to Kansas to abort her 24-week-old fetus, said John MacDonald, the Supreme Court’s spokesman. No Arizona clinics provide abortions after 20 weeks.
