Justices have retained the landmark ruling while allowing many state restrictions on abortion.

By Robert Barnes Robert Barnes Reporter covering the U.S. Supreme Court Email Bio Follow May 15 at 12:59 PM The race may be on among conservative states to pass restrictive abortion laws aimed at giving the Supreme Court the opportunity to overturn its landmark Roe v. Wade decision, but the justices are much more likely to take a gradual approach to the issue.

“It’s always very hard to predict what the court will do,” said Catherine Glenn Foster, president and CEO of Americans United for Life, an antiabortion legal organization. “But I think they’re going to look at incremental means first.” “We should be having this conversation about Roe, but we should also be having the conversation about how, instead of reversing Roe, the court is dramatically chipping away at it.”

But four members of the court dissented, and it seems inevitable that the full court will review the lower court decision approving the Louisiana law, which seems to conflict with a Supreme Court decision from 2016. Instead, in 1993’s Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the court adopted a new way to judge state attempts to restrict abortion. Justices Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony M. Kennedy and David Souter wrote a plurality opinion reaffirming the basic right of a woman to choose an abortion before viability outside the womb, but acknowledged a state’s interest in protecting the unborn.

OUR fine Supreme Court has already made that ruling. They made the ruling that gives each state wiggle room. There are women's groups that will of course pay for any woman to go across state lines. Any woman, any lines. Alabama + Georgia just SAD, sad to be them***Bernie 2020***

It’s her time to shine and that’s her plan for paying him back for all the heartstrings it toook to keep her. Music 🎶
