The U.S. Supreme Court scheduled arguments for Dec. 1 on its biggest abortion case in a generation, a Mississippi appeal that seeks to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.
The case, which the court will resolve by late June, centers on a law that would ban abortion in almost all circumstances after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The court will consider it amid a push by Republican-controlled states for even tighter restrictions, including Texas’s new ban on abortion at about the six-week mark.
