A Louisiana abortion clinic is asking the Supreme Court to strike down regulations that could leave the state with just one clinic.
Breaking News Emails
Louisiana's law requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The justices said in 2016 that a Texas law provided"few, if any, health benefits for women." But the appeals court in New Orleans rejected those claims, doubting that any clinics would have to close and saying the doctors had not tried hard enough to establish relationships with local hospitals.
For Roberts, it was a rare vote against an abortion restriction in more than 13 years as chief justice, perhaps a reflection of his new role since Kennedy's retirement as the court's swing justice and his concern about the court being perceived as a partisan institution.
