Supreme Court to determine if states can ban abortions before viability; pro-lifers hail ‘landmark opportunity’

The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in a case over a Mississippi law banning abortion in most circumstances before an unborn baby is viable. One pro-life group has hailed the court's decision to hear the case as a "landmark opportunity." The Supreme Court explained in their order that the arguments will focus on the question of whether bans on pre-viability abortions are constitutional.
