FEATURING JESS BRAVERMAN - The United States Supreme Court this week heard arguments in a case against the sale of medication abortion - a drug named Mifepristone. Just weeks ago drug stores such as Walgreens and CVS announced they would start carrying the abortion pill. Nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the US last year were medication abortions - a procedure that remains legal in 36 states. Will the nation’s highest court–which overturned the constitutional right to an abortion two years ago, now do away with the abortion pill as well?
