The Supreme Court will hear a case next month whose outcome could limit access to abortion for millions of women across the United States.
In perhaps the most important ruling since the practice became legal in the country, justices may use the case to revise constitutional principles on abortion and to determine how far all states can go to restrict it.
The case focuses on the legality of two provisions of a 2013 Texas law that place restrictions on doctor's performing abortions and the types of clinics that can adopt the practice.
The requirements state that all physicians performing abortions have to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the center where they perform the operation, and that the clinics are equipped to a level that meet the standards of an operating theater. ...

Abortion is not legal. Never has been, never will be.
No matter what the “Supreme” Court opines.
And the Texas law involved is immoral and unconstitutional anyway, ending, as it does, in effect, with, “and then you can kill the baby.”
They’re not arguing over whether or not to keep slaughtering millions of innocent boys and girls. They’re arguing over how to do it, where to do it, and on what schedule.
Still depends on Kennedy.
But we will likely see a 4-4 tie which would leave the 5th Circuit ruling in place.
The Fifth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment prohibit abortion.
“Nor shall any person be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law”
“The equal protection of the laws”
Abortion, therefore, CANNOT be constitutional or legal.
The whole Roe vs. Wade case was falsified and was put through by the Supreme Court to benefit Organized Crime after the government took away their other businesses.
There was no Jane Roe. It’s a play on JANE DOE and they didn’t want to use Jane Doe because that would be too obvious.
However, knowing how ignorant and gullible most of the public is, they substituted JANE ROE.
There was no Jane Roe, there was no RAPE, there was no ABORTION done because of the rape. It was all a SHAM.
Amazing that people say that what the Court assays is “the law of the Landâ€. What they say is not law but evidence of law. Indeed, Congress does not make law but merely authorizes government agencies to act to control certain behaviors. Law is what will effectively achieve the good end that Congress the court is seeking.
Jane Roe was used to cover the identity of the real plaintiff. Yes, it was a test case. Yes, there was no rape, and winning the case gave the plaintiff no relief. The person who benefited was an abortionist who joins chis case with hers and as a result escaped prison. Blackmun was primarily interested in protecting his dot or friends at Mayo and elsewhere was performed abortions and feared exposure. It was Brennan who had a wider agenda.
With Scalia gone, this case will likely be either affirmed by an equally divided Court (i.e., 4-4) or will be set to be reargued next term. Of course, the Supreme Court is known for throwing out the occasional curve ball.
Justice Scalia, while opposed to Roe v Wade thinking is was made up by Activist Justices based on absolutely nothing, did not agree with that a Fetus is a Person as described in The Bill of Rights.
Based on that I thought that his Originalist stance was much deeper than anyone could even imagine. To him, to be considered a “person” under the Constitution meant you had to have been Born.
>>>“Nor shall any PERSON be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of lawâ€<<<
And that abortionist was working for the 'syndicate'. Current PP clinics are run by the 'syndicate'. They hire doctors with suspended licenses, hire untrained/unqualified staff to assist the doctors and treat the patients. This is all In evidence.
And yet we have the courts accepting the determination that if you kill a pregnant woman (ergo the fetus inside her), you can be convicted of killing two PERSONS.
People, please remember the gun control arguments. Making guns more illegal will not by much reduce the number of guns. Same with marijuana, same with a lot of things.
Abortion should be a state’s decision, Roe is bad law, yes. But the way to stop abortions is to be truthful about them, to show the mother her baby, with a beating heart, just 20 days after she had sex. Or to really teach young black city girls that their decisions to abort kills more of their community than gangs or drugs.
And still some people will seek out this horrible procedure, legal or not. We must save whom we can, but there will always be some form of abortion.
Abortions could be curbed by the Supreme Court?
Yes, of course. And along the same lines, I heard obama will confess today he is an illegal immigrant and will resign.
Other breaking news, Hillary Clinton has given a full confession to the FBI regarding her treasonous email scandal and felonious involvement in Benghazi. In a plea bargain with the DOJ, she agreed to serve a life sentence to escape the death penalty.
Scalia’s death is mysteriously timed, no?
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."Adults not brought up to be moral and religious cannot be governed either by state constitutions or the federal Constitution; only punished by them, if applied. Should murder be state versus federal, or both?
— John Adams
When I heard Scalia discussing his interpretation of the Constitutional definition of “person” some years back, I was flabbergasted.
He always said it’s either in there or it isn’t.
I have a Book with many of Scalia’s Decisions and Writings I bought some years back. I’ll have to dig it out and give it another read.
(Kentucky) Governor Sues Planned Parenthood for Doing 23 Illegal Abortions Without a License
Mysteriously ? More like Conveniently.
The cases he was about to determine affected Organized Crime and their buddies in Government positions.
I think I know what you mean, but the way that is stated is totally ambiguous.
Human beings are funny. We will do what they know is wrong and is going it convince themselves it was the right thing to do. Our hearts will then be unresponsive to divine grace.
