Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana (and all other states) Abortion Restrictions!

Guardian: The US Supreme Court just struck down a major abortion case. The court ruled that a Louisiana law that requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, severely limiting access to abortion, is unconstitutional.

The US supreme court has upheld a woman’s constitutional right to obtain an abortion in the most-watched abortion case in decades.



In a 5-4 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with liberal judges to rule that Louisiana’s efforts to restrict access to abortion were unconstitutional.

The case, June Medical Services v Russo, was a pivotal test of how the court’s new conservative majority would rule on efforts to restrict women’s right to abortion, after Donald Trump fulfilled his promise to appoint conservative, anti-abortion judges to the bench.

The decision comes after a spring in which eight states sought to heavily restrict abortions as “elective” procedures during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

In his written opinion accompanying the ruling, Roberts referenced a near identical Texas law, which the court ruled unconstitutional in 2016.

“The Louisiana law imposes a burden on access to abortion just as severe as that imposed by the Texas law, for the same reasons. Therefore Louisiana’s law cannot stand under our precedents.”

The ruling comes as a further blow to the president, after the supreme court ruled against the administration over treatment of young, undocumented immigrants on 18 June.

The court in 1973 found women have a constitutional right to obtain an abortion, in the landmark case Roe v Wade. But since then, conservative forces in southern and midwestern states, in particular, have worked to severely restrict access to abortion services in the last three decades. Read more

  1. The time of birth is the first breath. The science which explores this is accepted behind the scenes but rejected almost anywhere in public. The case of “Three Identical Strangers” implicated Yale in an adoption scheme but no fruit was allowed to be picked.
    Life as we know it from our personal reality, begins at first breath.

    This issue was resolved tens of thousands of years ago. Literally.
