Parties prep for earthquake over future of abortion rights: The Note
ABC News
Wednesday’s Supreme Court arguments over Mississippi’s near-total abortion ban marks the culmination of decades’ worth of efforts to get Roe v. Wade overturned.
The TAKE with Rick Klein
It's not often that a date on the Supreme Court calendar is so easily circled -- or that one case seems likely to reorder the political landscape almost regardless of how it winds up being decided.
Wednesday's Supreme Court arguments over Mississippi's near-total abortion ban marks the culmination of decades worth of efforts to get Roe v. Wade overturned. It's a test for the conservative high court -- and for both political parties, which have built foundations and expectations around abortion rights.
The case has long been about more than Mississippi, or even about Texas, with nearly half the states in the country poised to significantly restrict access to abortions if Roe is overturned, as ABC News' Devin Dwyer reports.
