Today (Wednesday) the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a Louisiana abortion case.
The case is a Louisiana law that requires doctors performing abortions to obtain privileges from a nearby hospital.
Supporters say it was designed to keep unqualified doctors from providing abortions.
Pro-choice advocates say doctors who perform abortions would have a hard time getting admitting privileges.
A similar law in Texas resulted in half of the state’s abortion clinics closing.
The lead attorney challenging the law says it is about limiting access, not protecting women’s safety.
It’s also the first major abortion case to come before the Supreme Court since Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch took the bench.
The two Trump appointees could tip the scales in the abortion fight.
