Supreme Court hears arguments in two challenges to Texas' six-week ban on abortion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : The Supreme Court ruled in Texas' favor once before, deciding in September that it would not put enforcement of the law on hold because, a majority said, abortion providers had not sued the correct parties.
41% : That has made it harder for abortion rights groups preemptively to block enforcement of the law - since it's not clear who is enforcing it before such cases are brought in state court - and raises questions about what role federal courts have in the dispute.
39% : WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Monday in a pair of challenges to Texas' ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, a law that has galvanized forces on both sides of one of the nation's most bitter cultural conflicts.
38% : Though the high court has limited its focus to procedural questions about whether the two lawsuits may go forward - and whether enforcement of the Texas law should be temporarily put on hold - the arguments will be closely scrutinized for clues about the justices' positions on the constitutionality of abortion.
38% : Abortion already featured prominently on the court's docket this year after the justices agreed to hear a lawsuit over Mississippi's ban on the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
