Supreme Court makes Everyone Lie about Abortion
Abortion again is headed to the Supreme Court. At issue is a Texas law setting medical standards for abortionists. Clinics must maintain the standards of "ambulatory surgical centers" and doctors must have "admitting privileges" at local hospitals. The rules would close three-fourths of existing clinics, so abortion advocates filed suit. The case has national implications since six states mandate the former while ten impose the latter.
The public remains deeply divided over the issue.

As for the Texas law, 41 percent believed it was about health while 35 percent opined that its purpose was to limit abortion.
