MIAMI — Jane Doe 22-B, a 16-year-old in the care of Florida child welfare authorities, told a Florida judge she was “not ready to have a baby,” and sought a court order granting her permission to terminate a 10-week pregnancy.

The judge ruled that Jane, as she’s identified in court papers, was not “sufficiently mature to decide whether to terminate her pregnancy.” An order from an appeals court potentially will require the teen to become a mother instead.

A federal judge has dismissed a complaint from a group of workers who said they were unfairly discriminated against by Maine’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement for health care personnel. The plaintiffs sued Democratic Gov. Janet Mills and other Maine officials along with a group of health care providers in the state. They argued that the vaccine mandate violated their right to free exercise of religion because it did not provide an exemption for religious beliefs. Jon Levy, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine, wrote that the vaccine mandate was rationally based. He dismissed the suit Thursday.

A lawsuit alleging a Mississippi school district discriminated against a Black student and stripped her of an academic award has been dismissed by a panel of federal judges. Olecia James filed a federal lawsuit in 2019 against the Cleveland School District in 2019. She claims officials prevented her from becoming class salutatorian and awarded the honor to a white student instead because they “feared white flight.” A panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals published an opinion Wednesday unanimously affirming a district court decision dismissing her claims. James graduated with a degree from Alcorn State University this past spring and is now a second lieutenant in the U.S. army.

The Arizona Supreme Court says tax cuts or increases enacted by the Legislature can never be blocked by opponents using the state constitution’s referendum power, with the rare exception of a tax that funds a completely new state department. The opinion released Friday explains the court’s April 21 decision reinstating a massive income tax cut enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature last year and signed by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey. The court reversed a lower court decision that said the tax cuts could be blocked and placed on the ballot for voters to decide because the cuts did not appropriate money.

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he didn’t take any classified information with him when he left office. Pence made the comment during an interview Friday with The Associated Press in Iowa a week and a half after the FBI seized classified and top secret information during a search at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Asked directly if he retained any classified information upon leaving office, Pence said, “No, not to my knowledge.” The disclosure — which would typically be unremarkable for a former vice president — is notable given that FBI agents took 11 sets of classified records from his former boss’s estate while investigating potential violations of three different federal laws.

Thursday's vote was the latest development in a tense political tug-of-war between Republicans in Baton Rouge and Democrats in New Orleans concerning the ban. In July, New Orleans City Council passed a resolution directing police and prosecutors not to use city funds to enforce the ban.

A special keel-laying ceremony, a term that’s usually used to celebrate construction of a cutter, was held on Friday at the museum’s riverfront site in New London, Connecticut.

The project became delayed over the years, due to funding and other issues.
