U.S. Supreme Court Should Strike Down Louisiana Abortion Restriction
On March 4, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in June Medical Services v. Russo, a legal challenge to a Louisiana admitting privileges requirement for abortion providers. The Louisiana restriction is identical to a Texas law found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2016. Given this precedent and the fact that the restriction serves no purpose other than shutting down abortion clinics, the Court should strike down this law.
