A pregnаnt wоmаn wished tо оbtаin an abortion, but she was poor and could not afford one. Her home state did not provide financial assistance for abortions, but a neighboring state did for women who had been living within the state for at least three months prior to the procedure. The woman went to see a doctor in the neighboring state. He told her of the residency requirement. He also told the woman that he thought the residency requirement was unconstitutional and suggested that the woman bring an action in federal court challenging the residency requirement. She complied, bringing an action in forma pauperis, naming the doctor as the only defendant. The doctor responded that he believed that the requirement was unconstitutional and would like to be able to perform the abortion for the woman. How should the court proceed?

A federаl stаtute just signed intо lаw by the President prоvided that schоol districts no longer needed to recognize the tenure of elementary school teachers—all tenured teachers would lose their status and would be treated the same as nontenured teachers. The effect of the law would be to allow all tenured teachers to be fired more easily if their performance was not adequate. The law also allowed the salaries of tenured teachers to be lowered, at least until a new contract with the teachers could be negotiated. The law had a two-year grace period before it was to take effect, to give schools and teachers time to adjust to the law; however, it specifically provided that once it is in effect, school board actions under the law supersede any existing contract terms. A public elementary school district is in the first year of a three-year union contract with its teachers. The school board has stated that it plans to abolish tenured positions as soon as the law takes effect. The union, believing that numerous terms of the contract will be invalidated when the law takes effect, filed an action in federal court on behalf of the teachers, asking for an injunction to prevent the school board from abolishing tenured positions and for a declaratory judgment stating that the law is invalid. Should the federal court hear the case?
