Today the Supreme Court will weigh in on one route that Republican led states and their candidates have been going to try and restrict access to abortion.
Though states have recently imposed limits on when abortions can be performed and restricting abortion-inducing drugs used in lieu of surgery; the Supreme?Court will weigh in on whether or not Texas can allow a 2013 law to take full effect.

Before the law was passed there were 40 abortion clinics. Now there are about 20. If the law takes full effect there will be only 10 and no providers in rural areas or west of San Antonio.?Pro-life?supporters say the measure protects women and keeps them safe, while pro-choice supporter argue that the measure only seek to further restrict abortions that are already conducted in a safe manner.
