191578P.pdf   06/09/2020  Judy Doe  v.  Michael L. Parson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1578
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Benton and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff, a member of The Satanic Temple, 
   claimed that a Missouri informed-consent abortion law violates the 
   Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment. Held: 
   First, the court will not permit plaintiff to plead a new claim - the law 
   imposes an undue burden on her right to abortion on appeal; the statute's 
   requirement that the woman seeking an abortion must receive a 
   state-authored informed-consent booklet does not violate the Establishment 
   Clause simply because it aligns with certain religious beliefs on when 
   life begins; the requirement that plaintiff certify that she had a chance 
   to view an ultrasound at least 24 hours prior to the procedure and that 
   she received the informed consent booklet does not violate her 
   free-exercise rights.
