The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear arguments in defense of a Wisconsin law that would require doctors at abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
Rejecting an appeal by Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, the justices today left intact an appeals court ruling temporarily blocking the 2013 law because of the likelihood that it would limit access to abortion. Two clinic operators and two doctors who provide abortions are challenging the measure.
