Antiabortion activists march outside the U.S. Supreme Court building during the March for Life in Washington in January. “There are two full Supreme Court terms before the next election,” Fallon said. In 2018, nearly half of Democrats — 46 percent — said abortion should be legal in all circumstances, up from 19 percent in 1975. The Supreme Court must yet consider the merits of the Louisiana law, which passed in 2014 but has never been fully implemented. It would effectively shutter most of the state’s abortion clinics by requiring physicians at those facilities to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.
