Supreme Court strikes down Texas abortion clinic restrictions - Alaska Dispatch News
Supreme Court strikes down Texas abortion clinic restrictions
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled resoundingly for abortion rights advocates in the court's most important decision on the controversial issue in 25 years, striking down abortion-clinic restrictions in Texas that are similar to those enacted across the country. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joined the court's liberals in the 5- to-3 decision, which said Texas's argument that the restrictions were meant to protect women's health was merely cover for making abortions harder to obtain.
The Texas provisions required doctors who perform abortions at clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and ordered clinics to meet hospital-like standards of surgical centers. "The surgical center requirement, like the admitting-privileges requirement, provides few, if any, health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions, and constitutes an 'undue burden' on their constitutional right to do so," Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote for the majority………..
Passing laws to deny a person his/her constitutional right is wrong and finally now unconstitutional.
The Anti-abortion folks took it a few steps over the line called “reasonable and fair” and even without Scalia to descent justice won 5-3

Didn't you post this yesterday? I could have sworn we had two or three threads about this.
If I posted it yesterday.............I would have to had a working crystal ball.......
I'm sorry. I had thought you had done one of the threads yesterday. But all three were by someone else.
No need for "sorry"..,........we are all mistaken from time to time........
Except me......:lamo

Don't you mean

I posted this topic yesterday in the "Abortion Forum". It was posted in the "Breaking News Forum" as well.
No biggie to me.
But this decision made by the S.C., no matter where it's been posted in DP, will quickly die. Pro-life simply have nothing to add, discuss, or debate about this decision.
There's been a number of challenges to go before the S.C. related to the outcome of Roe v Wade, which have gone nowhere.
Women, who are by circumstance of birth, has the reproductive organ that supports the co-creation of another human life.
My question is: Why should women should be legally mandated to reproduce against their will? Men aren't.
Are you aware that many of the abortions today are medically necessary; and not those the anti-abortions characterizing the pregnancy as a result of a loose woman

And interesting enough...it is never about the "loose" men.:lamo
If you must know..........men are at the root of most problems..........IMHO
Nah....women cause their fare share.
“The U.S. Supreme Court declined Tuesday to take up a challenge to a Washington state law that makes it illegal for pharmacies to refuse to dispense medications for religious reasons.
Will be interesting to see how the states rightists react to this.

Supreme Court spurns abortion restrictions in two more states - News - WHBL 1330 AM · 101.5 FM | Sheboygan's News Radio
Supreme Court rejects two new abortion cases
“The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday let stand lower court rulings that blocked restrictions on doctors who perform abortions in Mississippi and Wisconsin a day after the court struck down a similar measure in Texas.
The laws in both states 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………
:applaud And there's a few more states to take down in the near future.
