The Court ruled in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt on Monday that two Texas regulations on abortion clinics impose an unconstitutional “undue burden” on the right to an abortion.
With the task of filling at least one vacant seat on the Supreme Court left to the next president, Republican strategist Michael McKenna said a heightened emphasis on judicial activism could drive undecided conservatives to turn out for Mr. Trump in November.
“Anything that helps voters (in this case a specific set of voters energized by one particular issue) focus on the importance of the Supreme Court helps Trump,” Mr. McKenna said in a statement.
Many in the pro-life movement communicated the significance of the presidential race in the wake of the Hellerstedt decision.
