punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also
shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday sent two Indiana abortion disputes back to lower courts including a fight over a restriction that would require women to undergo an ultrasound procedure at least 18 hours before terminating a pregnancy.
The nine justices tossed lower court rulings that blocked two Republican-backed state laws from taking effect, one of which is the ultrasound measure passed by the state legislature in 2016 and signed by Vice President Mike Pence when he was Indiana's governor before Donald Trump selected him as his running mate.
The second law would require that parents be notified when a girl under 18 is seeking an abortion even in situations in which she has asked a court to provide consent instead of her parents, as was allowed under existing law.
The justices threw out the two rulings - both issued by the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals - and directed the appellate court to reconsider the cases in light of the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling on Monday invalidating a Louisiana law that imposed restrictions on doctors who perform abortions.
Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court's liberals in the majority on the basis that the law was almost identical to a measure from Texas the court struck down in 2016.

We need to abort Stevens, that lying, truckling, murdering S.O.B.
Meant Roberts, sheesh.
Must have blacked out in outrage.
When will she die Lord? when will she die?
What is bad about that?
The Supreme Court had agreed to hear both cases; it now did not enter any decision, but just sent the cases back to the lower courts with instructions to reconsider them in light of last week's Louisiana decision. Since that decision upheld Roe v. Wade, the decisions on remand are likely to overturn the Indiana laws.

You are correct. They don’t want to hear it now. Kicks it back to Appeals. They can get it later. In Trump’s 2nd term
These cases aren’t similar to the Louisiana case. It’s confusing.
That implies that SCOTUS believes the laws should be implemented.
My take is that they are basically saying, “reword your decision and we’ll side with you.”
“”””You are correct. They don’t want to hear it now. Kicks it back to Appeals. They can get it later. In Trump’s 2nd term””
I would prefer that no highly controversial decisions be made this close to the election.
It would have been next June. Now, who knows. Might not ever hear it.
I pray that God lets us replace Ruth. That would be a great blessing
Consider that patriots have been able to stand their ground in fighting unconstitutional gun control laws in the courts because of the 2nd Amendment (2A).
On the other hand, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect murdering unborn children as a “right” like the early states did with rights expressly protected by the Bill of Rights, the politically correct “right” to have an abortion scandalously legislated from the bench by post-17th Amendment ratification, state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices imo, Democrats must do the following to stay in power.
In stark contrast to citizen enjoyment of protections provided by 2A, desperate, incompetent Democrats must fight tooth-and-nail to maintain a pro-abortion, Supreme Court activist justice majority to preserve their mythical, “constitutional” abortion “right” so that they can supplement ballot box stuffing with enough bona-fide votes to stay in power.
Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.
