US top court blocks Louisiana abortion law

The US Supreme Court on Thursday blocked a Louisiana law that critics say would limit access to abortion in the southern state. The decision was made by a narrow majority -- 5 votes to 4 -- with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the court's progressive justices to block the legislation, which would have taken effect Friday. It was considered a test for the high court, swung to the right under President Donald Trump.
