Justice Anthony Kennedy, President Reagan's third choice for the 1987 Court vacancy, provided the fifth vote to overturn a Texas law which purported to increase health and safety standards for "abortion clinics." The Court majority reveres abortion, it seems. As Justice Thomas wrote in his dissent, the court bends rules to take abortion cases and decides them differently: "Ultimately, this case shows why the Court never should
have bent the rules for favored rights in the first place.
Our law is now so riddled with special exceptions for
special rights that our decisions deliver neither predictability
nor the promise of a judiciary bound by the rule of
law."
