Abortion access before the Supreme Court
We look at the Louisiana abortion access case before the Supreme Court and discuss the arguments and legal challenges to reproductive rights.
Listen 49:01Guests: Kimberly Mutcherson, Michael Moreland
Last week the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in June Medical Services v. Gee, a case involving a Louisiana law that requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. A similar Texas law was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2016, but abortion opponents hope the new addition of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch might tip the scales in their direction. This hour we discuss the case, what’s at stake, and look at other legal challenges to reproductive rights with our guests Rutgers University law professor KIMBERLY MUTCHERSON and Villanova University law professor MICHAEL MORELAND.
