US Supreme Court to hear arguments on Texas abortion ban

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : The Center for Reproductive Rights, which is challenging the Texas law with partners including Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the American Civil Liberties Union, in a court filing last month said: "If Texas gets away with this ploy, the constitutional right to abortion will be the first but certainly not the last target of states unwilling to accept federal law with which they disagree."
45% : Anti-abortion advocates are pressing legal challenges to abortion rights in the US as the Supreme Court has grown more conservative after appointments including Amy Coney Barrett, who was nominated by former president Donald Trump and championed by activists seeking to undo Roe.
38% : In documents filed last month, Texas said that if the Supreme Court were to debate the merits of its new law, it should overturn Roe vs Wade and Planned Parenthood vs Casey, a 1992 Supreme Court decision that upheld Roe's recognition of a constitutional right to abortion.
36% : The US Supreme Court will hear arguments on Monday in a battle over Texas's attempt to enact one of the most restrictive laws on abortion in the country, testing the high court's willingness to reconsider longstanding legal precedent on the divisive issue.
36% : The Texas statute prohibits abortion after roughly six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant, without exceptions for instances of rape or incest.
