In a case challenging two provisions of Texas' House Bill 2 (H.B. 2). the 'admitting-privileges requirement' and the 'surgical-center requirement', the Fifth Circuit reversal of the District Court's decision, concluding that res judicata barred the District Court from holding the admitting-privileges requirement unconstitutional statewide and that res judicata also barred the challenge to the surgical-center provision, is reversed where: 1) petitioners' constitutional claims are not barred by res judicata; and 2) both the admitting-privileges and the surgical-center requirements place a substantial obstacle in the path of women seeking a previability abortion, constitute an undue burden on abortion access, and thus violate the Constitution.
