The Supreme Court has decided to review abortion restrictions in Louisiana, where state law requires the abortionist to have hospital admitting privileges close to where the procedure takes place.
The court agreed Oct. 4 to hear the case, which is cited as June Medical Services LLC v. Gee, after striking down a similar law in Texas three years ago in a 5–3 ruling. In that case, then-Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has since been replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, was part of the majority voting bloc. The respondent is Dr. Rebekah Gee in her official capacity as secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health.
