Russo v. June Medical Services

[g5000]

In 2013, the state of Texas passed a law requiring the doctors at abortion mills to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles, as well as requiring the abortion mills to meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-3 that the burdens of the law outweighed the dubious benefits.

That case was Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt.

Completely ignoring that decision, Louisiana passed a law requiring doctors at abortion mills to have admitting privileges to a local hospital.

So back we go to the Supreme Court tomorrow, March 4. June Medical Services v. Russo

 

[g5000]

The arguments were made yesterday, and it looks like Chief Justice John Roberts will be the swing vote. Which way he will swing is not certain, but he was a dissenting vote in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt.

For those who have been fervently praying for RBG's death: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dominates in abortion case

If there is any question whether 86-year-old Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has spent her life steeped in issues concerning women's rights, is slowing down after four bouts of cancer, it was not evident Wednesday morning in Washington.

For over an hour, Ginsburg, the leading liberal on the bench, engaged in a high stakes constitutional version of whack-a-mole, taking down arguments put forward by supporters of a Louisiana abortion access law that requires doctors to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
