The Supreme Court will hear its biggest abortion case since it overruled Roe v. Wade

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Yet, while the law is clear, the stakes in the Alliance cases are exceedingly high.
47% : One reason why the justices hear so few cases is that the lower courts are supposed to act as filters, weeding out relatively easy cases where the law decidedly favors one party or the other, and leaving the hardest cases -- typically, the ones that are sufficiently difficult that they divide lower court judges -- for the nation's highest Court.
46% : And the law gives the FDA, and not judges, the power to decide which drugs should be available in the US.
46% : But, again, the law does not require the FDA to conduct, or to get someone else to conduct, a single study that confirms the conclusion that FDA was able to reach by looking at multiple studies in conjunction.
42% : And the only reason this case wasn't dismissed months ago is because the plaintiffs were able to hand-pick a judge who appears incapable of distinguishing between what the law actually says, and what a fringe group of religious conservatives wish that it said.
