High court won’t review ‘personhood’
OKLAHOMA CITY – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to take up an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling that said a proposal to grant “personhood” to human embryos would be an improper ban on abortion.
The proposed constitutional amendment, which was never considered by voters, would have given human embryos the rights and privileges of citizens in Oklahoma and was called “clearly unconstitutional” by the state Supreme Court in an April ruling.
The measure was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union and the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of several Oklahoma doctors and residents before it could be placed on the ballot.
A personhood bill passed in the state Senate during this year’s legislative session but was not heard by the House.
Proposed marine reserve gets boost
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – An international push to create a giant marine sanctuary in Antarctica has gotten a big boost after the United States and New Zealand resolved their dispute over fishing.
The two countries on Monday submitted a joint proposal for a Ross Sea reserve to the international organization that regulates fishing in Antarctica. They’d earlier submitted competing proposals that stood little chance of success.
Both countries have touted an Alaska-sized sanctuary but previously couldn’t agree on fishing rules and boundaries.
The 24 nations and the European Union are currently meeting in Australia and will likely decide on the proposal later this week.
Day-Lewis donating his father’s papers
