The chief justice tipped the balance over new abortion curbs but his objections were about procedure, not principle
The supreme court upheld the status quo on Monday, declining to further erode women’s rights for the time being.

The ruling, composed of one opinion signed by the four liberal justices and a very narrow concurrence by Chief Justice John Roberts, throws out a restrictive Louisiana law that aimed to close clinics by requiring abortion providers to obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The decision upholds the court’s own 2016 precedent, Whole Women’s Health v Hellerstedt, which threw out an identical law in Texas just four years ago.
