Supreme Court considering Louisiana abortion law
More than 200 senators and members of Congress have signed an amicus brief supporting the abortion legislation in Louisiana.
The law, which places strict restrictions on when and where abortions can be performed, was challenged in court when it was introduced in 2014. It was barred by a district court. This was overturned by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals last January, but in February the Supreme Court blocked the law being implemented.
