The following quote may be attributed to National Institute of Family and Life Advocates President Thomas Glessner regarding SCOTUS’ decision not to hear a challenge to the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal’s ruling requiring ultrasounds before abortion:

“We applaud SCOTUS’ decision to uphold the Sixth Circuit’s ruling mandating that doctors show the child in the womb using ultrasound as part of informed consent before abortions. 

In declining to hear this appeal, the Supreme Court has declared this law constitutional. This victory could indicate good news for a decision to hear a Supreme Court challenge to a similar Indiana law.”
