Supreme Court urges estranged couple to reconcile before ruling on 25‑week abortion plea

On Thursday, the <b>Supreme Court</b> asked a six‑month‑old married couple to give their marriage another chance before it decides on the wife’s request to terminate a <b>25‑week pregnancy</b>. The bench’s admonition shines a light on a judiciary that prefers to mediate personal discord rather than untangle the procedural quagmire that has stalled abortion jurisprudence for years. If they reconcile, the court’s caution could spare both lifelong regret; if not, the ruling will set a critical precedent for future late‑term abortion petitions.
