063108P.pdf   01/22/2008  Jane Roe  v.  Larry Crawford
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3108
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Hansen, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - Abortion. An elective, non-therapeutic abortion does not
   constitute a serious medical need, and the Missouri Department of
   Corrections policy refusing to provide inmates with transportation for
   such abortions does not rise to the level of deliberate indifference
   required to constitute an Eighth Amendment violation; however, the
   policy does violate prisoners' Fourteenth Amendment rights under the
   test for reviewing the reasonableness of prisoner regulations impacting
   constitutional rights established in Turner v. Safely, 482 U.S. 78 (1987),
   and the district court order enjoining enforcement of the policy is
   affirmed.
