In yesterday’s Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt ruling, the Supreme Court overturned 5-3 a Texas law that would have severely obstructed a woman’s ability to get an abortion in the state.

The Supreme Court found that these requirements unfairly target abortion clinics and are not actually aimed at increasing safety.
