The Docket: After A Half Century, Roe V. Wade Faces An Uncertain Future

The Docket: After A Half Century, Roe V. Wade Faces An Uncertain Future

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Dec. 1 in a case from Mississippi that tests whether all state laws that ban pre-viability abortions are unconstitutional. That case poses a serious challenge to Roe v. Wade, the decision that originally permitted abortion nationwide. For this episode we look at what the court was thinking when they decided Roe in 1973, and what the court may do in the upcoming term.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith and legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg.
