The US Supreme Court on Friday agreed to consider the legality of a Republican-backed Louisiana law that imposes restrictions on abortion doctors — and could ultimately obstruct access to the procedure, according to critics.

The justices agreed to hear an appeal by abortion provider Hope Medical Group for Women — which had sued to block the law — in light of a lower court ruling that upheld the legislation last year.

The law requires abortion doctors to earn difficult-to-obtain “admitting privileges” at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinics.

If the law is implemented, according to the Shreveport-based plaintiff, two of the state’s three abortion clinics would be shuttered.

The Supreme Court also will weigh in on a separate appeal by the state that challenges the right of such clinics to even sue.

The Supreme Court struck down a similar law in 2016 in Texas — at which time Justice Anthony Kennedy sided with the four liberal justices and defended abortion rights. But since then, President Trump has replaced the retired Kennedy with conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
