11:57Now PlayingOn Monday, in the most significant victory for abortion rights in a generation, the Supreme Court struck down provisions of a sweeping antichoice law in Texas. In a 53 ruling, the justices rejected provisions requiring abortion clinics to meet the costly standards of hospitalstyle surgery centers and mandating that doctors obtain admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The impact of Monday’s landmark ruling is already reverberating throughout the country. On Tuesday, justices rejected bids by Mississippi and Wisconsin to revive admitting privileges requirements similar to the one in Texas. Meanwhile, Alabama’s attorney general has announced his state will stop trying to defend its own admitting privileges requirement in wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling. We speak with Stephanie Toti, who argued the landmark Texas abortion case before the Supreme Court.
