Clues From Kennedy

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in a case challenging a law regulating health and safety standards at Texas abortion clinics. More than 20 clinics have closed since the law took effect.

Pro-abortion advocates argued that the law created an “undue burden” on women seeking to exercise their “right” to destroy the life of an unborn baby. The court’s four liberals clearly embraced this attack.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, who previously voted against abortion restrictions that allegedly created “undue burdens,” appeared somewhat sympathetic to that challenge.

According to reports, Kennedy expressed concern about a “capacity problem” if only 10 abortion clinics remained open in Texas. How sad that he seems worried about an abortionist shortage. Kennedy suggested that the case be sent back to the lower courts so that the law’s impact could be more thoroughly examined. A decision is expected this summer.
