WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a high-profile case that could have major implications for abortion rights in states across the country, including Arizona. Kennedy was replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who previously voted against an effort to temporarily block the Louisiana law. Locally, she said rural residents would be the hardest hit if the Supreme Court upholds the Louisiana law. That can’t possibly meet the needs of the roughly 10,000 women who seek abortion services in Louisiana each year, they told the Supreme Court. A federal appeals court upheld Louisiana’s law despite the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Texas case.
