Recently, the state of Texas enacted a law regulating abortion. The law has a number of provisions, but I want to focus on 2 of these provisions.
First, the law requires that a physician performing or inducing an abortion "have admitting privileges...at a hospital no more than thirty miles from the location at which the abortion is performed or induced."
Second, the law prohibits "abortion at or after 20 weeks post-fertilization."
Are these laws permissible under Casey and the "undue burden" test?
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
