June Medical Services L.L.C. v. Russo
United States Supreme Court
140 S. Ct. 2103, 207 L. Ed. 2d 566 (2020)
The Supreme Court no longer recognizes a constitutional right to abortion.
When it did, however, states regularly challenged that right by enacting new laws designed to curtail abortion access. In June Medical Services versus Russo, the Supreme Court considered whether a Louisiana law was constitutional.
Louisiana passed a law requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a hospital within thirty miles of the clinic where they performed abortions.
A few weeks before the statute took effect, two abortion providers and three clinics, including June Medical Services, which we'll collectively call June, filed a lawsuit against the secretary of Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals.
June challenged the statute's constitutionality, requesting declaratory and injunctive relief. Following a bench trial, the district court ruled for June, declaring the law unconstitutional and preliminarily enjoining its enforcement.
The district court found that the statute didn't promote the state's interest in women's health and that enforcing the statute would reduce the number of providers and clinics to one or two of each in the entire state. Accordingly, the court determined that the statute didn't advance a legitimate state interest and unduly burdened abortion access. Louisiana appealed to the fifth circuit, which reversed. The United States Supreme Court granted cert.
