NEWS ANALYSIS
The movement has a long pipeline of new cases that, if taken up
by the Supreme Court, could present a more direct challenge to
Roe v. Wade.

For anti-abortion activists, Monday’s Supreme Court ruling against
a Louisiana law delivered a stinging and surprising setback. But
perhaps not for long.
The anti-abortion movement has a long pipeline of new cases that,
if taken up by the Supreme Court, could present a more direct
challenge to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that established federal
protection for abortion. As of June, there were at least 16 abortion
cases before United States appeals courts, the last step before the
Supreme Court, according to lawyers at Planned Parenthood
Federation of America.
The Louisiana case, over a 2014 law that required doctors
performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby
hospitals, was never envisioned as a way to upend Roe v. Wade. It
was one small piece of a broader strategy to restrict abortion
through myriad state laws that put together could chip away at
overall access.
That political project has already significantly narrowed abortion
access in large areas of the South and the Midwest. And at least
five states have only one abortion clinic each left: Mississippi,
Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and West Virginia.

The decision on Monday, the first major abortion case since
President Trump shifted the court’s balance of power to the right,
also showed for the first time that Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and
Brett M. Kavanaugh sided with the anti-abortion cause, as hoped
by longtime activists. The ruling will only further the push by
social conservatives to re-elect Mr. Trump so he might have a third
opportunity to nominate a justice in time to rule on more
significant abortion cases working their way up to the Supreme
Court. Many of those laws would have a far greater reach than the
Louisiana case.
While legal challenges to abortion often take years to reach the
Supreme Court, states have continued to add to the list, passing
dozens of new laws in recent years. This month, Tennessee passed
a bill that would outlaw abortions as early as six weeks in
pregnancy without exceptions for rape or incest.

The president of the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group,
called Monday’s ruling a “bitter disappointment,” but, looking
ahead to the November election, praised Mr. Trump for appointing
Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, who dissented in the decision.
“It is imperative that we re-elect President Trump and our pro-life
majority in the U.S. Senate so we can further restore the judiciary,
most especially the Supreme Court,” the group’s president,
Marjorie Dannenfelser, said. “President Trump, assisted by the
pro-life Senate majority, is keeping his promise to appoint
constitutionalist Supreme Court justices and other federal judges.”
For the abortion-rights movement, which has faced a number of
disappointments in recent years, the ruling was the best outcome
that advocates could have hoped for, given the new conservative
tilt of the court. Monday’s decision allows Louisiana’s three
remaining abortion clinics to stay open.

Abortion-rights advocates said the win would preserve access for a
clientele that is disproportionately poor and of color. About 8,000
abortions were performed in Louisiana in 2018, according to state
statistics. More than two-thirds of abortion patients there are
women of color.
“It’s crazy times, and it’s a wonderful good thing,” said Kathaleen
Pittman, the director of the Hope Medical Group for Women, the
Shreveport-based clinic at the center of the case. On Monday
morning, the clinic was seeing patients, and she described the
mood after the ruling as “absolute giddiness.”
November is an important juncture for the fight over abortion. Mr.
Trump’s bid for re-election will test the depth of his backing among
white evangelicals and Catholics who support the president for
how much he has advanced anti-abortion policies.
Control of state legislatures is also on the table. Nearly 80 percent
of state seats are up for election this year, according to the National
Conference of State Legislatures. Whichever party gets majority
control will have tremendous power to reshape the legal landscape
for abortion for years to come.
The anti-abortion movement has made tremendous gains in state
legislatures around the country, which has allowed them to pass a
flurry of bans in recent years. Reclaiming power on the state level
for the abortion-rights movement will require painstaking grassroots
work.
For conservatives, Monday’s ruling is a political opportunity to
energize Mr. Trump’s conservative religious base at a moment
when he trails former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. in six key
states, including in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania where
white Catholics may be important swing voters. Kayleigh
McEnany, the White House press secretary, called the ruling
“unfortunate.”

“Instead of valuing fundamental democratic principles, unelected
justices have intruded on the sovereign prerogatives of state
governments by imposing their own policy preference in favor of
abortion to override legitimate abortion safety regulations,” she
said in a statement.
Listen to ‘The Daily’: A Major Ruling on Abortion
Why the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that required
doctors performing the procedure to have admitting privileges at nearby
hospitals.
The abortion-rights movement had been using Mr. Trump’s
appointments of Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh as rallying calls
for campaigns to take Senate seats, such as those held by Susan
Collins, Republican of Maine, and Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa.
Monday’s ruling seemed to reinforce that strategy.
“This is great news, but the battle continues, folks,” Ilyse Hogue,
president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, an abortion rights group,
wrote on Twitter. “As long as Kavanaugh is on the bench, our rights
are on the line—and we need your help to flip the Senate.”
Lawyers for the clinic argued that their victory was resounding
because it involved the Supreme Court’s ruling in their favor for
the second time in four years on a case involving admitting
privileges. The law was almost identical to a Texas law, large parts
of which the Supreme Court struck down in 2016, and Justice
Stephen G. Breyer said as much in his opinion. Even Chief Justice
John G. Roberts Jr., who sided against the abortion-rights groups
in the 2016 case, gave his qualified support in Monday’s ruling.
“Two strikes, you’re out,” said T.J. Tu, senior counsel at the Center
for Reproductive Rights and a lawyer for the clinic. The message,
he said, was that “states should really knock this off.”
But in many ways the ruling was narrow — putting to rest merely
one of many legal strategies used by the anti-abortion movement
to reduce access. Legislatures, largely in red states, passed dozens
of anti-abortion laws last year alone.

Nor is it a given that the 5-to-4 decision means that Chief Justice
Roberts will always side with the court’s liberal wing on abortion
cases. Though he was the deciding vote for Monday’s ruling, the
chief justice specified in his concurring opinion that he believed the
2016 precedent that Monday’s ruling was based on was “wrongly
decided.”
Lawyers for the Louisiana clinic conceded that Chief Justice
Roberts had not come down conclusively on their side.
“The opinion did muddy the waters a little bit,” said Julie Rikelman,
a lawyer at the Center for Reproductive Rights who argued
Monday’s case before the Supreme Court on behalf of the clinic. “It
will lead to more litigation, not less.”
While the toughest bans — ones prohibiting abortion after a fetal
heartbeat is detected — have drawn considerable attention, Ms.
Rikelman said she did not expect those to be taken up by the
Supreme Court. More likely, she said, would be any number of
cases that diminish access piece by piece. The next major case
could be over bans on the dilation and evacuation procedure that is
common in the second trimester of pregnancy, or on abortion
based on a Down syndrome diagnosis.
