Supreme Court rejects pro-abortion challenge to Tennessee’s pro-life “Amendment 1”

It became official Monday morning when the Supreme Court declined to hear the challenge. Perhaps the High Court agreed with a three judge panel of the Sixth Circuit when it unanimously concluded “…[I]t is time for uncertainty surrounding the people’s 2014 approval and ratification of Amendment 1 to be put to rest.”
