The United States Supreme Court is set to take up a case that could reverse decades of access to abortion in the US, in what women’s rights advocates are calling a potential turning point in the country’s history.The nation’s top court will hear arguments on Wednesday on whether a Mississippi state law enacted in 2018 that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy is unconstitutional.The hearing sets up a decision by the Supreme Court next year that could overturn nearly 50 years of federally protected abortion rights, which were granted in a landmark ruling known as Roe v Wade. It comes as the US Supreme Court now has a 6-3 conservative majority.
