The Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban. The court’s liberal majority ruled 4-3 on Wednesday that the ban is no longer valid because newer abortion restrictions superseded it.

The US Supreme Court turned away a new effort to restrict abortion, declining to hear arguments that parents have a constitutional right to prevent their underage child from ending a pregnancy.The justices said Thursday they won’t revive a Montana law that required doctors to get written consent from a parent or guardian before performing an abortion on a patient under 18.
