For now at least, the U.S. government does not have to facilitate abortions for underage illegal immigrants in federal custody.
In a unanimous opinion released last week, the Supreme Court dismissed a lower court's ruling that the federal government had to facilitate an abortion for a 17-year-old girl held after officials caught her entering the country illegally from Mexico.
