The Court offers flimsy and transparent justifications for upholding a nationwide ban on intact D&E sans any exception to safeguard a women’s health…This way of thinking reflects ancient notions about women’s place in the family and under the Constitution–ideas that have long since been discredited…In candor, the Act, and the Court’s defense of it, cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away at a right declared again and again by this Court–and with increasing comprehension of its centrality to women’s lives.
-Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in the dissent
