You're jumped from falsely claiming that states aren't allowed to enact Any laws re 1st trimester abortions, to arguing that the Texas law in This case doesn't impose an undue burden. Does that mean you finally accept that states can pass laws re pre-viability abortions if the laws don't impose an undue burden/substantial obstacles for women ?
It's appalling that, ever since the Casey case, anti-choice proponents in state legislatures have passed all sorts of dumb requirements that are simply meant to impede legal access to abortion . . . . they do nothing for mother's health or other legitimate public policy. It's all just a pretext to chip away at Roe vs. Wade until there is absolutely nothing left of it.
You really ought to try to get Roe vs. Wade reversed by the SCOTUS. That's what principled people would do, instead of enacting countless BS regulations. It's a shame that Scalia succumbed to a vicious pillow . . . he would have been a difference maker.
Good news? How are these restrictions 'good news'? I think it only reasonable that such a risky procedure take place where adequate emergency treatment is available in case something goes wrong.
But, hey, putting lives at risk doesn't bother the Left, I guess. The life of the child is expendable, so why not the mother if something should go wrong? Who cares ... right?
That is NOT why the Right Wing Sexually repressed Nutjobs want these restrictions, it is ONLY to control a woman's right to her reproduction, that's ALL. They want Birth Control BANNED, they want ALL Abortion BANNED regardless of reason, Hell they even want to BAN Sex Education in School.
It looks like all that stuff the Religious right was going “take Back “wasn’t even theirs to begin with. What looks like an embarrassment of riches for the moderates and liberals, IMO isn’t really so because most of the rulings were no brainers.
Now politicians on the far right will have to come clean and let on that they are no more powerful than the constitution allows them to be. I think it was a rural Missouri politician whose reelection promise was that he voted for the farm bill and to repeal Obamacare. That’s tantamount to saying I did nothing.
If it is a violation of their religious freedom to perform abortions, sell birth control, and give marriage licenses to same sex couples, why is it not a violation of their religious freedom to sell guns to murderers and armed robbers? It would be real easy to find out who they are before you sold them a gun. Maybe those two of the Ten Commandments are negotiable.
Uh, nobody supports selling guns to murders and armed robbers. Nobody.
The Louisiana situation is factually different from that in Texas, since doctors and clinics in Louisiana have argued that enforcement of the admitting privileges requirement would leave the state with a single clinic with only a single doctor, while the Texas law has been challenged on the basis of worry that it would leave eight or nine clinics throughout the state. Another difference is that the admitting privileges provision has been in effect across the state of Texas for months, but has been in force in Louisiana for only nine days.
In addition, the Texas controversy also focuses on another provision in the Texas law that is not in the Louisiana statute: a requirement that all abortion clinics upgrade to be able to provide significant surgical services, whether or not the clinic ever does any surgery. Presumably, in the preliminary vote the Justices cast in private on Friday would take into account both the privileges restriction and the one mandating surgical facilities.
