The US Supreme Court is set to decide whether to uphold a Mississippi law that would ban almost all abortions after 15 week of pregnancy.
The ruling could gut the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which protects pregnant women’s liberty to choose to have an abortion.
The supreme court has a conservative majority after former president Donald Trump appointed Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett as judges who are expected to uphold the Mississippi law.
The decision could lead to more than half of US states passing similar laws to restrict access to abortion services for women.
