, potentially, on the ruling about a 2013 texas law. whether that law about abortion providers poses an unconstitutional undue burden on texas women. so we will see exactly what is said as the supreme court is about to go on summer break. we know that we have seen other decisions that have come down in the past couple of weeks, and because of justice scalia's position, after his passing, not being filled, we have seen a completely divided supreme court. we'll see what comes out today. here's our pete williams. >> reporter: this is a very big win for advocates of abortion rights. the supreme court, by a 5-3 vote, has struck down what was arguably the toughest abortion law in the country. this was a texas law that said abortion clinics had to have -- be built to architectural standards that were the same as walk-in surgical centers, and also said that doctors had to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. when the law was passed, the number of abortion clinics in texas went from 42-19. a more than 50% reduction. and the advocates said, if this law remained on the books, the total n

forced to forgo care as a result of texas's laws. today's decision is a turnaround for texas and for the country. but let me be clear come a wind does not mean the struggle is win does not mean the struggle is over. clinics do not open overnight. we have a daunting task ahead of us to determine whether and how to reopen the health centers that were forced to shut their doors. renewing leases, hiring staff and working with the communities that we previously served to help us reopen. and second, this decision only addresses two of the many research and that women face to get abortions here in texas. now we must redouble our efforts across the country to end similar restrictions across the state that push abortion out of reach for so many women. it is time to pass proactive state laws so that a woman has access to quality clinics in her community, can afford abortion, and does not face shame or stigma when she six hour care -- seeks our care. from day one, whole women's health rejected hb2 and we fought back. we took on the politicians and we struggled everyday since then against an

texas was broad by abigail fisher who said the university denied her admission based on her race. she graduated from louisiana state university. justice kennedy wrote the condition for the court. the fact that race consciousness played a role on the admissions decisions. it shouldn't be evidence of constitutionality. the opinion was shared and justice alito in his decent for the court wrote ut never provided the need to discriminate on the need of race and even though they rely on unsupported and noxious racial assumptions, they conclude that they met the heavy burden. this conclusion is remarkably and remarkably wrong. his decent is joined by the chief justice roberts. justice kagan recused herself because they worked on it as solicitor general. this is from the hills website. you can read a detailed article about the case. here's the oral argument from december of last year. >> you will hear argument in morning in case 14981. fisher versus the university of texas in austin. before we get started, we will say this is our only case and we intend to grant the parties ten minutes or so
