How the Court Could Limit Abortion Rights Without Overturning Roe
No matter which path the court takes, the destination will likely be the same—the end of access to safe, legal abortion for many women.
Sometime in the next nine months, the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in June Medical Services v. Gee, a major Louisiana case that could shape the future of legal abortion in America.
