The majority conservative court will decide whether states can ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The United States Supreme Court has agreed to consider a major rollback of abortion rights, saying it will decide whether states can ban abortions before a foetus can survive outside the womb. The court’s order on Monday sets up a showdown over abortion, probably in the fall (from September), with a more conservative court seemingly ready to dramatically alter nearly 50 years of rulings on abortion rights. The court first announced a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion in the 1973 Roe v Wade decision and reaffirmed it 19 years later.
