The Supreme Court announced it will hear a case involving a Louisiana law restricting women’s reproductive health care, particularly access to abortion services. This is shocking as the court just three years ago struck down an identical Texas law.

The Supreme Court shouldn’t reverse its earlier decision. It must strike down Louisiana’s law, just as it did with the identical Texas law. Any other action will be a stark break in how the court follows precedent and cast major doubt on how it views a woman’s right to choose.

Stare decisis? A LEGAL doctrine. The SCOTUS is far from an legal institution. It's as ideologically politically pure as we have in our 3 branches. They don't call balls and strikes. And they care nothing for precedent. They vote their prejudices. Change that? Pack the Court.

They are going to respect precedent by distinguishing Roe until it's moot.

But not if precedent is no longer applicable, as in abortion decisions. Tide has turned towards life.

The public has also been changing its view as scientific understanding is improving particularly with respect to unborn babies being able to feel pain.
