Supreme Court agrees to rule on abortion restrictions, setting up contentious election year debate

Richard WolfThree years after striking down restrictions on Texas clinics and doctors that had created burdens for thousands of women, the justices agreed Friday to consider a similar Louisiana law in the term beginning Monday.

Abortion rights advocates had complained that the law was virtually identical to the one struck down in 2016. But that Texas decision required the vote of Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired last year and was replaced by Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Roberts dissented in that case, preferring to let the Texas restrictions stand.

The court last term upheld an Indiana law requiring the burial or cremation of fetal remains following an abortion. But it refused to consider that state's effort to ban abortions based on sex, race or disability. And in June, it refused to hear Alabama's effort to reinstate its ban against a particular second-term method of abortion.

The question in Louisiana is whether the state can require abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. Three years ago, the court ruled 5-3 that the hardships for Texas women would be greater than any possible benefits of such hospital affiliations.
