Clashing convictions mark protests as US supreme court weighs abortion pill
Hearing on mifepristone most consequential abortion-related case since overturning of Roe v Wade nearly two years ago
Supporters and opponents of abortion rights gathered on the steps of the supreme court on Tuesday, where, just beyond the marbled columns, the justices were hearing oral arguments in the most consequential abortion-related case since it overturned Roe v Wade nearly two years ago.
At stake is the accessibility of mifepristone, the first pill in a two-drug regimen used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the country.
