The Supreme Court may vote 4/4 on the Texas abortion regulations at issue in Whole Women’s Health and thus leave in place most of the regulations. They might also vote 5/3 to strike the regulations. No matter what the Court eventually decides, one can be sure that the U.S. abortion debate will not flag and that, given the vacancy on the Supreme Court, abortion will continue directly to influence presidential elections.
