US Supreme Court to rule on abortion pill ban

Description

The US Supreme Court is expected to deliver a ruling Wednesday over tough new restrictions on the widely used abortion pill mifepristone ordered by a Texas judge last week. The drug in question is used in around half of the abortions carried out in the country today and is widely viewed as the safest, most effective method of abortion in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Wade" decision that enshrined a woman's right to an abortion, saying that individual states can now permit or restrict the procedure themselves. "I pledge to continue to fight for our most fundamental right: the right to life," Schmitt says in a video statement posted to social media. SOUNDBITE
