Fourth Circuit Issues Ruling in Challenge to Baltimore Regulation of "Crisis Pregnancy Clinics"

The Baltimore Sun: Fourth Circuit overturns ruling on abortion signs, by Ian Duncan & Tricia Bishop:

Decision sends case on unusual city law back to lower court

The U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Wednesday a lower court ruling striking down a Baltimore ordinance that required pregnancy clinics to post signs stating if they do not provide abortions.

Judge Robert B. King wrote in a majority opinion that the lower court was too hasty in overturning the city law but did not decide on the case's merits. The city has agreed to keep the law on hold while the lower court takes it up again. . . .
