Supreme Court declines to take up transgender rights case

The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday it will not take up a high-profile dispute over a school policy that allows transgender students to use the locker rooms and restrooms of their choosing.

At issue in the case is a policy adopted by the Boyertown Area School District in Pennsylvania in the 2016-2017 school year that allows some transgender students to use school facilities based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

In deciding not to hear the case, the school district's policy remains intact.

Supreme Court upholds Indiana law requiring burial or cremation after an abortion

The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued an order that will allow Indiana to enforce an abortion law mandating the burial or cremation of fetal remains following an abortion.

The order marks the first case under the more conservative Supreme Court makeup to challenge the parameters of Roe v. Wade.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday also decided it will not take up a separate part of the law banning abortion on the basis of race or sex, or because they learn they will otherwise give birth to a baby with Down syndrome or another disability.

The law was signed by Vice President Mike Pence, who was governor of the state at the time. It contained exemptions for conditions that "with reasonable certainty result in the death of the child not more than three months after the child’s birth."
