Pre-US Reports Printing of an Important Case Concerning Abortion Signed by Chief Justice Rehnquist Supreme Court of the United States. [Rehnquist, William (1924-2005)]. (Slip Opinion) Webster, Attorney General of Missouri, Et al. v. Reproductive Health Services, Et al. [Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1989]. vii, [1], 23, [1], 11, [1], 7, [1], 23, [1], 14 pp. Complete. Signature of Chief Justice Rehnquist to head of first page. A few tiny marks to p.i, otherwise fine. $500. * A decision that undermined a key provision of Roe v. Wade, Webster v. Reproductive Health Services upheld a Missouri law that imposed restrictions on the use of state funds for services relating to abortion. Chief Rehnquist wrote the opinion of the Court for all but Parts II-D and III. Only Justices White and Kennedy joined the opinion in its entirety. A U.S. Supreme Court opinion is disseminated through a four-step process. The first is a bench opinion, which is issued on the day the Court announces a decision. A slip opinion, which often incorporates revisions, is issued a few days afterwards. With the addition of an index and other features, such as a table, an opinion is issued later as a softcover Preliminary Print designated as a Part. Over time, it is joined with other parts to make up a preliminary softcover United States Reports volume. A few years later, the opinion, after a final round of editing and indexing, is printed in its final, official, form in the hardcover United States Reports.
