Writing for the liberals, Justice Stephen breyer says the louisiana law poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking an abortion. Roberts wrote his own more narrow opinion pointing to a decision four years ago that invalidated a nearly identical texas abortion law. In that case, roberts joined conservatives in dissent. He wrote today i continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question is not whether it was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case. That is not the outcome many expected. With the addition of two new justices appointed by President Trump, it was widely believed the court was poised to allow greater restrictions on abortion.
