Alito hits out at 'intimidation' in defence of supreme court's Texas abortion ruling

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The court will return to abortion in its next session, which convenes on Monday.
46% : Alito and Thomas spoke at Notre Dame, a college in Indiana with a strongly conservative student base where in 2019 the then attorney general, Bill Barr, delivered an address on religious freedom that some saw as a "dog whistle" to Trump-aligned conservatives.
38% : On 1 December the justices are scheduled to hear arguments on an appeal by Mississippi, which is defending a law banning abortion after 15 weeks and asking the court to overturn Roe v Wade.
36% : In particular, allowing Texas to ban all abortions after the detection of embryonic cardiac activity, usually around six weeks, drew a furious backlash from critics who saw it as a de facto reversal of Roe v Wade, the 1973 ruling that protects the right to abortion.
