Justices Take Up Major Abortion Case This Week

Associated Press: “Both sides are telling the Supreme Court there’s no middle ground in Wednesday’s showdown over abortion.”

“The justices can either reaffirm the constitutional right to an abortion or wipe it away altogether. Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that declared a nationwide right to abortion, is facing its most serious challenge in 30 years in front of a court with a 6-3 conservative majority that has been remade by three appointees of President Donald Trump.”

Washington Post: For Clarence Thomas, avowed critic of Roe v. Wade, Mississippi abortion case a moment long awaited.
