Federal Judge in Texas Hears Arguments in Case That Could Disrupt Abortion Access Nationwide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, a federal judge heard arguments Wednesday in a case that could
restrict medication abortions throughout the nation, revoking the FDA's
two-decade-old approval of mifepristone - the most common abortion
method in the U.S. Demonstrators rallied outside the courthouse in
Amarillo. This is activist Janda Raker.

Janda Raker: "It feels very discouraging. It feels like we have gone
back in history. When I was a young mother in 1962, they were just
starting to let women take the pill. And so, now we've come to abortions
have been legal since '73, and now they're not."
