The Supreme Court is taking up an explosive case Wednesday as the justices consider an abortion access law that Louisiana says is meant to increase public safety by requiring a doctor performing an abortion to get admitting privileges at a nearby hospital
Washington The Supreme Court will take up one of the most explosive cases of the term Wednesday as the justices consider an abortion access law that Louisiana says is meant to increase public safety by requiring a doctor performing an abortion to get admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
Critics say the law serves no medical purpose and could have a disastrous impact on abortion access for women in the state, leaving just one doctor to perform the procedure. It pits Republican-led states, increasingly emboldened by a conservative-leaning Supreme Court, against supporters of abortion rights who say such laws amount to thinly veiled attempts to restrict abortion.The case comes in the midst of a blockbuster term.
