Supreme Court Expected To Announce Soon Whether It Will Take Abortion Case From Louisiana or Indiana

A move by the court on contentious abortion issues could have ripple effects on the presidential election next year. The Louisiana case involves a requirement that doctors who perform abortions have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The Indiana mandate would force women to undergo an ultrasound at least 18 hours before having an abortion. In other news, a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood against a group that secretly filmed employees begins, Kansas residents seek to change the state's constitution to help end abortions there and Jackson, Miss., officials move to try to cut down the noise around a clinic offering abortions.
