Supreme Court rejects two abortion cases, letting blocked restrictions stand

The Supreme Court refused to hear two cases where lower courts blocked abortion restrictions.

The laws in both states [Mississippi and Wisconsin]  required doctors to have “admitting privileges,” a type of difficult-to-obtain formal affiliation, with a hospital within 30 miles (48 km) of the abortion clinic. Both were put on hold by lower courts. The Mississippi law would have shut down the only clinic in the state if it had gone into effect.

The laws in Texas, Mississippi and Wisconsin are among the numerous measures enacted in conservative U.S. states that impose a variety of restrictions on abortion.

With its ruling on Monday, the court gave its most stout endorsement of abortion rights since 1992. Conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy joined the court’s four liberals in the 5-3 decision.

      On the subject of school prayer, someone (can’t remember who) said if you want to see prayer in schools, come back during finals week.

    Women now have the right to choose. Why can’t people respect that? Roe v Wade, makes EVERYTHING explicitly clear. It states what can occur during the first, second and third trimester. What is the big deal? YOU don’t like abortion? OK, don’t get one, but if I want (or need) an abortion, don’t stop me from getting one. What is so difficult about that?

    This was never about women’s health…everything cons do and say is a lie.

      They’ve been lying, exaggerating and distorting the truth since 1973, it’s all they know.
