The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against the Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. You can read the full opinion below, but the bottom line is this:

Chief Justice John Roberts is a coward. supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf…
Read his concurrence starting on page 46. He KNOWS that the Louisiana law is constitutional. He ADMITS that the decision is wrong on its merits.
But he places the doctrine of stare decisis -- that's Latin for "the Court's unwillingness to own up to its mistakes, lest it look bad" -- above the flesh-and-blood HUMAN BEINGS, both mothers and their babies, who will be harmed by his vote.
If I believed in hell, I'd say there's a special place in it for him.
