The supreme court’s new justice hasn’t made his stance on abortion public, but an urgent filing from a Planned Parenthood clinic could offer the first cluesAn urgent appeal to the supreme court by Planned Parenthood has created an unexpected early test of Justice Neil Gorsuch’s views on abortion restrictions. Planned Parenthood has appealed the matter to the supreme court. But he has never, in the 10 years he spent as an appeals court justice, ruled on an abortion rights case. Should Gorsuch rule against Planned Parenthood, the group has the ability to appeal before the full supreme court. The law is very similar to a Texas restriction the supreme court struck down in 2016.
