Abortion rights advocates fear a new conservative majority on the court may be prepared to overturn or alter landmark Roe decision
The US supreme court is expected to hear oral arguments on Wednesday in the most important abortion rights case in decades, which will decide the future of abortion access across the country.
Campaigners warn the case poses a direct threat to the legal underpinnings of Roe v Wade, a landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed the constitutional right to abortion.
