This merely eliminates the injuncntion and the case proceeds in trial court. It’s not over by long shot.

What’s really interesting is that the four pro-abortion Justices could have forced an acceptance of this case. I think they didn’t because the 8th Circuit decision is only binding within that Circuit.
If the four liberals had voted to grant a hearing, Planned Parenthood would lose and the subsequent decision would be binding in every state that passed the same law.
The fight for right to life is winning.
The 10th Amendment’s nose is under the tent!
It’s a start.
