The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a Louisiana law that could have left the state with a single abortion clinic. It was a setback for conservatives in the first major ruling on abortion since two Trump appointees joined the bench. We examine the implications for future challenges, and why — for the third time in two weeks — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. sided with his four more liberal colleagues.
Guest: Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court for The Times.

Background reading:
Chief Justice Roberts also voted with the court’s liberal wing (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/us/supreme-court-abortion-louisiana.html?smid=pc-thedaily) in rulings on job discrimination against L.G.B.T.Q. workers (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/podcasts/the-daily/supreme-court-lgbtq.html?smid=pc-thedaily) and on a program protecting young immigrants (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/18/podcasts/daca-supreme-court-dreamers.html?smid=pc-thedaily).
The ruling on Monday stalled anti-abortion momentum for now, but the movement has a long pipeline of new cases (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/us/june-medical-supreme-court.html?smid=pc-thedaily).
