Independent, UK- The Supreme Court will hear its first abortion case since Donald Trump installed two justices who are both expected to vote in an anti-abortion way. The court agreed to hear a case concerning a Louisiana law that would leave the state with only one doctor authorised to perform abortions. The case is expected to be heard in June of 2020.
“Access to abortion is hanging by a thread in this country, and this case is what could snap that thread,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. “There’s only one reason the court would not strike down the Louisiana law and that is because Justice Kennedy, who voted to protect abortion access just three years ago, has been replaced with Justice Kavanaugh.
