Clinton Praises Supreme Court Ruling on Abortion Law as 'Victory for Women'

Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is praising the Supreme Court's ruling on a 2013 Texas law that would have greatly reduced the number of abortion clinics in the state.

Just minutes before taking the stage with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in Ohio, Clinton voiced satisfaction with the decision on Twitter.

"SCOTUS's decision is a victory for women in Texas and across America. Safe abortion should be a right-not just on paper, but in reality," Clinton wrote.

In a statement released today, Clinton argued that the decision "is a reminder of how much is at stake in this election."

"We need a President who will defend women's health and rights and appoint Supreme Court justices who recognize Roe v. Wade as settled law," the statement read.

Clinton also attacked Donald Trump's position on abortion.

The presumptive Republican nominee has not commented on the Supreme Court decision.

The 5-3 ruling is a major win for pro-choice advocates.

The intended law would have imposed significant restrictions on access to abortion clinics, mainly by requiring the clinics to hold similar standards to that of walk-in surgical centers.

The Supreme Court struck down the Texas law, with the majority opinion saying the law puts an undue burden on a woman's legal right to choose.
