Supreme Court divided in first big abortion case of Trump era
The Supreme Court appeared split in its first major abortion case of the Trump era. Chief Justice Roberts looms as a potential swing vote as justices weigh a Louisiana law requiring doctors to have admitting privileges. A decision is expected by late June with potential nationwide impact amid ongoing state bans tied to a fetal heartbeat. Justice Kagan highlighted clinic safety concerns, while Kavanaugh and Gorsuch signaled support for allowing the law to take effect in earlier votes. The court has shifted right since 2016, though Roberts remains pivotal as the swing vote.
