Justices Strike Down Louisiana Abortion Law

The Supreme Court struck down abortion restrictions in Louisiana in a 5-4 vote, “a sign that even if the court’s newly expanded conservative majority wants to chip away at abortion rights, it will likely do so incrementally,” Axios reports.

Chief Justice John Roberts said “respect for precedent compelled him to vote with the majority,” the New York Times reports.

“The case was the court’s first on abortion since President Trump’s appointments of two justices shifted the court to the right.”
