June Medical Services L. L. C., Petitioners v. Stephen Russo, Interim Secretary, Louisiana Department Of…

Summary

The Court held that Louisiana's admitting‑privileges requirement for abortion providers imposes an unconstitutional undue burden on women's right to obtain an abortion and affirmed the district court's injunction. It also concluded that the providers have standing to assert their patients' rights and that the Fifth Circuit erred in reviewing the district court's factual findings. The decision was accompanied by three dissenting opinions, each contesting the majority’s standing analysis, the application of the undue‑burden standard, or the need for further factfinding.
