Abstract

During the 2016 election, Donald Trump won conservative support by promising that he would, if elected, nominate "pro-life" justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Whether President Trump makes good on his campaign promise to restrict abortion rights may come down to competing impulses of the chief justice, John Roberts. These dueling dispositions-from the man whom many see as the new "swing justice"-hold the key to a blockbuster new case that legal historians call "the most unpredictable the Supreme Court has been on abortion in decades." The case, June Medical Services v. Russo, turns on arduous new requirements that Louisiana has imposed on facilities and clinicians that provide abortion. But the case is not just about abortion access. The Court will have to decide whether a clinic has a right to challenge the law in the first place.
