The decision was 5-3.
Passed in 2013, the law said clinics providing abortion services must meet the same building standards as ambulatory surgical centers. And it required doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

So a state can racially discriminate but cannot regulate abortion clinics for public safety. this is why we need to strip the courts

Again, this decision shows that even if we replace scalia with an originalist, we already lost the court. lower courts even worse

5-3, with Kennedy siding with the court's liberal justices. https://t.co/ZKUprycCj0

Texas should refuse to obey the Supreme Court's insane, unjust, unconstitutional decision. The time for civil disobedience is now. #Texit

I'm still confused why abortion clinics should have lower standards than doctors offices & hospitals.

Putting a conservative in the White House is not enough. There needs to be a makeover in Congress and the courts as well.
Unfortunately, terminally stupid voters have all but guaranteed there won’t be a real conservative in the White House next January.
