The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked key parts of a 2013 law in Texas that had closed all but eight facilities providing abortions in America's second most-populous state.
In an unsigned order, the justices sided with abortion rights advocates and health care providers in suspending an Oct. 2 ruling by a panel of the New Orleans-based U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that Texas could immediately apply a rule making abortion clinics statewide spend millions of dollars on hospital-level upgrades.

So the state no longer can quantify the level of care given at a medical facility? Nor require that facility to maintain a standard? Doesn’t this, by effect, seize all powers of licensing to the federal government?
Boy, seems like this is a decision that will stink up the courts for quite some time. But must protect the baby killing industry, the life and safety of the soon to be ex mothers be damned.

Those pigs should want their ‘clinics’ to be as safe as possible, but they don’t, they care about revenue, nothing else.
Scalia, Alito and Thomas dissented.
It's not a decision, merely an order that the law not go into effect until the appeals court rules on its constitutionality.
An unsigned order; I wonder what would happen if TX thumbed their nose at it and when/if called on it replied with if you wanted it done, you should have signed it
.
They get away with claiming to be the champions of women’s “health” (and demonizing as opponents of women’s “health” anyone who disagrees with them) but they don’t care if a few bodies of women are thrown onto the mound of babies’ bodies. Isn’t this common sense? Why are so many so dumb as to believe that people who kill infants all day have nothing but love in their hearts for their mothers?
This means that Roberts and Kennedy are Pro Baby Killing.
So basically Roberts and Kennedy are pro abortion.
I already understand the nuanced positions Kennedy has taken, but Roberts has largely avoided the issue.
At first I thought he was just playing coy.
Now I know better.
God bless the three dissenters.
Some of those SCOTUS justices love knowing more babies are being murdered.
Slightly loose reporting. The official copy is always signed and sealed by the Clerk of the Supreme Court, certifying that it is the Court's Order. "Unsigned" is the reporter's short-hand for "no justice in the majority put his or her name on it."
Ah, I see.

That's interesting; almost like they're afraid of backlash…
It's the Supreme Court's common practice with Orders issued in cases before they are decided; typically, it's only decisions (or orders issued by one Justice without consulting the rest of the Court) that have the author's name. But in this case, we had three recorded dissents, so it's safe to day the other 6 agreed with the stay.
