Supreme Court to Hear Most Significant Abortion Case in 20 Years
----------------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments today on the most important
abortion rights case in more than 20 years. Texas abortion providers are
challenging provisions of a sweeping anti-choice law passed in 2013 that
has already shuttered about half of the state's roughly 40 abortion
clinics. With Justice Antonin Scalia's death, the case faces the
possibility of a 4-4 deadlock, which would leave a lower court's
decision upholding the restrictions in place, although it would not set
a national precedent.
