Supreme Court Rejects Texas Abortion Restrictions

HeadlineJun 30, 2015

The Supreme Court has handed down its final rulings for the current term. On Monday, the Supreme Court blocked a lower court decision that threatened to leave Texas with fewer than 10 abortion clinics. The court said clinics do not have to follow requirements forcing them to meet the standards of hospital-style surgery centers that were set to take effect on Wednesday, after Texas failed to prove the measures protect women’s health. The court could take up whether the rules are unconstitutional later this year.
