Supreme Court takes up case that could decide future of legal abortion
More fromThe Supreme Court said in the Texas case that neither was needed to protect women’s health and that both requirements imposed “a substantial burden” on a woman’s right to abortion.
Louisiana has conceded that its law is virtually identical to the Texas law. The difference between then and now is that Justice Anthony Kennedy, who cast the decisive fifth vote in the 2016 Texas case, has retired and been replaced by Trump appointee Brett Kavanaugh, who has indicated his willingness to undermine or discard the 2016 decision.
The Supreme Court’s decision to hear June v. Gee should have every person who believes in accessible, legal abortion worried. A reversal of Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt will put not just every abortion clinic in Alabama in danger, but most of the clinics in the South, too. We know that one distinct route for the Supreme Court to undo abortion rights is to leave Roe intact and abortion technically legal – but close the clinics in order to make it impossible to actually obtain one.
