Legal experts consider it the most significant decision on abortion rights in a generation. The court declared Monday that burdensome restrictions on abortion clinics in Texas are unconstitutional, a decision that could carry sweeping consequences for other states with similar laws. Trump, who boasts high support among Christian evangelical voters, did not immediately detail his thoughts on the decision. Speaking Thursday on the issue, Trump said the decision would not have come down the way it did if he had been president. On the campaign trail, Trump has regularly talked about Supreme Court appointments to elevate the stakes of the race.
