What You Need To Know About The Supreme Court's New Abortion Rights Case
HuffPost
The court, which now has a solid majority of conservative justices, could decide to wipe out abortion access in nearly half of U.S. states.
The U.S. Supreme Court justices have said that they are willing to reconsider the reproductive protections established nearly five decades ago in Roe v. Wade, setting the stage for an abortion rights battle that’s been years in the making. The justices announced Monday that the court will hear a case concerning a Mississippi ban on abortions beyond 15 weeks of pregnancy, marking the first time the nation’s highest court has considered an abortion ban since that landmark decision in 1973, which has protected access to the procedure for 48 years. Former President Donald Trump’s impact on the court, now loaded with three of his conservative nominees in lifetime appointments, may soon be felt by the hundreds of thousands of patients who seek abortion care in the United States each year.More Related News
