The Supreme Court just issued a 5-3 ruling in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt calling both provisions in the case an “undue burden” on women seeking to obtain legal abortions.
The American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists both argued that the regulations “serve no medical purpose, interfere in the doctor/patient relationship, and do nothing to promote women’s health.” 5-3 the Justices agreed… of course Thomas said in an angry dissent that abortion isn’t a right in the first place.
