BREAKING: SCOTUS rules Louisiana Abortion law UNCONSTITUIONAL

Chief's bottom line is stare decisis: "The legal doctrine of stare decisis requires us, absent special circumstances, to treat like cases alike. The Louisiana law imposes a burden on access to abortion just as severe as that imposed by the Texas law, for the same reasons. Therefore Louisiana’s law cannot stand under our precedents."

We have examined the extensive record carefully and conclude that it supports the District Court's findings of fact. Those findings mirror those made in WWH in every relevant respect and require the same result. We consequently hold that the Louisiana statute is unconstitutional."
