Pennsylvania’s highest court rejected a request by Gov. Tom Wolf to immediately take up his challenge to legislation that would advance a proposed state constitutional amendment declaring there is no right to abortion in the state, along with four other unrelated proposed amendments to the Pennsylvania Constitution.

The abortion-related amendment could go before voters as early as May 2023.
