Abortion and the new Supreme Court: 'It seems like a clear case, except that the Court has changed.'

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments about a case that could overturn Roe vs. Wade and fundamentally change abortion rights in this country. So what happened in court, and what did the Justices say about the case? What would changing the Court's position on abortion mean for abortion access across the country, and what would it mean for the Supreme Court itself? And how did we get to a place in 2021 where abortion rights seem likely to be altered? We wanted to dig into this case so we caught up with Dr. Susan Liebell, Professor of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University.
