(Los Angeles Times) The Supreme Court on Friday weighed whether to hear a case involving the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, the first direct challenge to abortion rights the court has faced since Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh took his seat.
The case involves an appeal from Indiana, which seeks to enforce a state law that forbids abortions by women who cite Down syndrome, or the sex or race of the fetus, as a reason for ending a pregnancy.
Justices reviewed the matter privately Friday but were not expected to announce whether they will take the case until next week at the earliest.
