Louisiana admitting privileges case heads to Supreme Court

Here is a link to a story on Scotusblog about the cert petition that was filed today (April 17, 2019) in the Louisiana admitting privileges case. The case is June Medical Services v. Gee. In 2016, the Supreme Court invalidated a Texas law that requires that abortionists have admitting privileges at local hospitals. In June Medical Services, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld Louisiana’s admitting privileges requirement.

In February 2019, the Supreme Court granted a stay of the Fifth Circuit’s ruling and that prevented the law from going into effect. Now, June Medical Services has asked the Court to review the Fifth Circuit’s decision. The Court is likely to grant the petition and take up the case in its 2019-2020 Term.
