JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Some Missouri Supreme Court judges expressed skepticism Wednesday about one of the main arguments against a 2005 abortion law.
Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights supporters claim the law could infringe on their free speech rights to tell minors about the option of going to Illinois. But Chief Justice Michael Wolff said during arguments that he doesn't think the law would apply to speech. An attorney for the state argued the law would apply to conduct, like driving a minor to an out-of-state abortion without her parents' consent.
