While I’m pleased the Supreme Court agreed to temporarily block a Louisiana abortion law, it’s troubling, but not surprising, that Kavanaugh wrote a separate dissent arguing the court should disregard long-standing precedent, despite his assurances that he'd respect precedent.

The Louisiana law is nearly identical to the Texas law struck down by the court as unconstitutional in 2016, and Kavanaugh’s willingness to let it proceed demonstrates his views on Roe v. Wade and women’s reproductive freedoms, despite what he testified to in the Senate.
