US Supreme Court to hear challenge to Mississippi abortion law

Raw Story  

A US Supreme Court shifted to the right by Donald Trump is to hear a case this week that may roll back 50 years of abortion rights. The Supreme Court's rulings did not put an end, however, to conservative and religious opposition to abortion, and anti-abortion activists believe their moment may have finally arrived after years of political and legal battles. "I am still at the point where I'm in disbelief that the Supreme Court would even take this case," Brewer said. Julie Rikelman, a lawyer for the Center for Reproductive Rights who will argue the case before the court, said that if the justices uphold the Mississippi law "it would be possible for states to ban abortion at virtually any point in pregnancy."
