The next big abortion case comes down to John Roberts, a devout Catholic who came up through the Reagan administration, whose wife sat on the board of Feminists for Life, and who has never voted against an abortion restriction. irin writes
Photo: Jabin Botsford/Pool/Getty Images Almost four years ago, I sat on a cable-news set waiting for the Supreme Court to hand down a ruling on a Texas abortion law that, reputable medical organizations agreed, amounted to a bogus justification for shutting down abortion clinics. The live feed was trained on candidate Hillary Clinton’s Cincinnati rally, featuring Elizabeth Warren, who had just endorsed her.
And so we find ourselves this spring in the judicial version of Groundhog Day, in which the Court has agreed in June Medical v. Russo to consider the constitutionality of a Louisiana law that is essentially identical to the one it rejected just three years ago. As Texas did, Louisiana has imposed a seemingly innocuous regulation on abortion providers, requiring that they obtain admitting privileges at local hospitals, that in reality sets them up to fail.
The pro-choice side’s thin reed of hope is for another rare Roberts apostasy, like his two unexpected votes to save the Affordable Care Act in 2012 and 2015, or in the past term, when he reportedly switched sides at the last minute to block the Trump administration from asking about citizenship on the Census, which was expected to suppress Latino participation.
