The Supreme Court on Monday is poised to once again enter the fray on the abortion issue, an already divisive subject complicated by election-year politics and a split bench that may lack the votes to rule definitively.
The high court will wrap up its work for the summer by issuing a judgment on how far Texas can go to regulate abortion clinics in the state, and whether those provisions have the effect of limiting first-trimester abortions guaranteed by the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. Texas reproductive clinics are asking the justices to keep their facilities open in the face of the state restriction.

SCOTUS ping.
A 4/4 would work for now...
I imagine ‘SCOTUS’ will rule that men who “identify” as women will be able to go into ‘planned parenthood’ clinics and demand an abortion ‘on demand’ or something like that. You never know what the hell SCOTUS is going to do these days.

My paesan....sigh
We needed you so badly another year.
I’d be glad for a 4-4 tie.
There are no restrictions.
All Texas is doing is requiring that abortion mills operate under the same health and safety standards as same-day surgery clinics.
Abortionists and their salesmen love to claim that abortion is a medical procedure. But let a state try to treat it legally as if it really is one, they cry bloody murder. Which is apt, come to think of it.
What other business is treated as so fundamentally essential to rights that it can carry on its affairs in any old way?
They’re looking for grey areas, penumbras, emanations, and vectors of latitude right now
I’m afraid Kennedy is going to go with the libs on this one and we lose it 5 to 3. I hope he surprises me.
For all of the caterwauling about dirty, back alley abortions, it seems like liberals want there to be absolutely no cleanliness standards at all.
They'd throw a fit if someone shut down an illegal alien's roach coach because it has no running water.
A surgical procedure is MUCH less important than having a taco made with $hit covered hands.
This is exactly what I expect to happen unfortunately.
SCOTUS can’t effectively rule with a rubber stamp 4 vote liberal bloc standing against a free to rule group of 4. What matters in this case is what is the ruling from the lower court because it will either be affirmed or the issue will be referred for reconsideration.
Do abortion clinics have to have a separate toilet facility for transgenders ?
In fact, regardless of the politically correct idea that you can do anything that you want to with your body that federal politicians often use to bluff the legitimacy of the fictitious constitutional right to have an abortion abortion, please consider the following.
The states had ratified the 18th Amendment (18A) to prohibit the consumption of alcohol, that amendment later repealed by the 21st Amendment. But 18A is nonetheless proof that citizens don’t necessarily have the right to do with their bodies as they please.
Also, while I think that it is good that women won the right to vote on state issues when the states ratified the 19th Amendment (19A), the constitutionally powerful states having much more power to address the concerns of women than the constitutionally humbled federal government, 19A actually opened Pandora’s box by also giving women the right to vote on federal issues.
After all, regardless that one of the very few powers that the states have constitutionally delegated to the feds to regulate an aspect of domestic policy is to manage the US Mail Service (1.8.7), corrupt federal politicians have nonetheless been winning votes from low-information women by promising unconstitutional federal funding for abortions.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
All they have to do is get the word “gay” in there someplace and Kennedy is a lock.
See if womens health was really what they cared about they would exceed these minimum standards other places that do real medical procedures have to follow.
>>>Do abortion clinics have to have a separate toilet facility for transgenders ?<<<
Not necessary.
I’m sure they flush the dead Boy, Girl and Transgender Fetus’s (Babies)down the same Toilet. At least the ones they don’t Part Out and Sell.
