From the Wall Street Journal editorial board: So much for
all those crocodile fears about the end of abortion rights. The Supreme Court
ruled 5-4 Monday that a state can’t even require abortion providers to have
admitting privileges at a hospital. And the logic of the concurring opinion
from Chief Justice John Roberts, who provided the fifth vote, suggests not even
de minimis regulation of abortion will survive his Court’s scrutiny (WSJ).
From the editors of the National Review:
The Constitution does not prohibit Louisiana from requiring abortionists
to have admitting privileges in hospitals near where they operate. We know this
fact from reading it; from the debates over the ratification of its provisions,
none of which suggest that anyone believed that it could be used in such a
fashion; and from the fact that for many decades states prohibited abortion
altogether without anyone’s even alleging that they were violating the
Constitution. Now five justices of the Supreme Court have conceded this obvious
point (National Review).
From Amy Swearer: Once again,
the court carved out special constitutional exemptions in the field
of abortion law that don’t exist for anyone else. And once again, Chief
Justice John Roberts provided a deciding vote for the court’s liberal wing,
based on highly questionable reasoning (Daily Signal).
From a pandering Joe Biden: Today’s
decision reaffirmed that states can’t put in place laws that unduly burden a
woman’s right to make her own health care decisions—but the fight isn’t over.
As President, I’ll codify Roe v. Wade and protect a woman’s constitutional
right to choose (Twitter).
