The Supreme Court began hearing arguments on Wednesday in a key case that could change the power states have in regulating abortion clinics. More: http://on.mash.to/1L6ayIY The case, Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, a challenge to controversial abortion regulations passed in Texas in 2013. The court has been tasked with deciding whether a Texas law that regulates abortion clinics actually infringes on a woman’s constitutional right to obtain an abortion in the state. The case has polarized the ongoing national debate between anti-abortion activists and pro-choice advocates who gathered in front of the Supreme Court. A decision in the plaintiff's favor would restore abortion access in Texas and stem a flood of similar bills in states around the country.
