The only parts that the Judge struck down were the requirement of admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles of a facility and the requirement that doctors stick to the FDA protocols for administering the abortion drug.
I don't see how the Supreme Court would rule in favor of either of these since many many drugs are used for "off label" use all the time and doctors don't follow the FDA guidelines for exact use on all medications.
In addition, the requirement of admitting privileges is over burdensome to the doctors and is unconstitutional no way around that one.
Anyway, I am not a lawyer, but it seems these two things would be something that the Supreme Court would side with, IF they decide to hear the case.
The 20 week requirement is still in place, along with the mandatory vaginal ultrasound.
