Abortion rulings

THE US Supreme Court yesterday let stand lower court rulings that blocked restrictions on doctors who perform abortions in Mississippi and Wisconsin a day after the court struck down a similar measure in Texas. The laws in both states required doctors to have “admitting privileges,” a type of difficult-to-obtain formal affiliation, with a hospital within 48km of the abortion clinic. Both were put on hold by lower courts. The Mississippi law would have shut down the state’s only clinic if it had gone into effect.
