guidelines for foreign travel. they ll look past the history of the covid controversy and send him here to washington. just moments ago, arguments wrapped up in dobbs versus jackson. at stake, roe versus wade and the nearly 50-year-old right to abortion. they ban abortion after 15 weeks. but the state is asking them to uphold 15 weeks as a reasonable time. with the court now tilted conservative by a 6-3 margin, abandoning roe v. wade is very much a possibility. if you think the issue is one of choice, that women should have a choice to terminate their pregnancy, that supposes that there is a point at which they had the fair choice, opportunity to choice. why would 15 weeks be an inappropriate line? the viability, it seems to me, doesn t have anything to do with choice. but if it really is an issue about choice, why is 15 weeks not enough time? jessica snyder is at the supreme court. jessica, we heard the supreme court justice there. a spirited debate among all the jus
