A panel of federal appeals judges used Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion in the Supreme Court's recent decision protecting abortion access to allow several Arkansas abortion restrictions to go back into effect -- a seemingly counterintuitive outcome that advocates on both sides of the abortion issue had predicted.

Three judges on the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals opted on Friday to remove a district court's temporary block on the Arkansas laws "in light of Chief Justice Roberts's separate opinion in June Medical" and another prior court case. The laws include a restriction on the most common procedure used in second-trimester abortions and a provision that the husband of a woman getting the abortion can sue the doctor to stop his wife's abortion.

According to procedural rules, the re-instated laws can't go into effect for 21 days, or until August 28.

Judges Lavenski R. Smith, Roger L. Wollman and L. Steven Grasz noted that while Roberts sided with the court's four liberals to strike down the Louisiana law in June, he did not sign on their reasoning.

3. Robert's knows that history will refer to the decisions made will be seen as the Robert's Court

He doesn't want to have HIS court seen as a one-sided right-wing court. He knows that the country pendulum will swing toward the left as will the country and he wants and needs to be on the right side of the fence to be seen as a fair Chief Justice. Stacking the court as Trump and McConnell have been doing will make it the most radical court in history. Robert will take the blame.

Persons conceived with non male dominant genome shall be deemed inferior and therefore subject to any whim the male dominant humans or their religious superiors wish to impose for any reason.
