The Texas Abortion Case Audio is Here!
My new state embarrassed itself in front of the Supreme Court last week.
Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller attempted to defend Texas’s anti-abortion law to the court, and it was a hot mess.
Audio of the oral arguments for Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt are finally live on the Supreme Court’s website, and it is worth taking a listen.
This is the court’s first abortion case in 9 years and involves a Texas regulation which dramatically reduces abortion access for Texas women.
Slate’s Amicus podcast did a really interesting episode on the case.
The Atlantic’s story on the case is also a pretty comprehensive summary, but it is worth listening to the full audio of the hearing.
