Justices asked skeptical questions of pro-life challengers
Conservative Supreme Court justices were among those asking skeptical questions in Tuesday’s abortion pill case. During nearly 90 minutes of arguments, Supreme Court justices raised questions about the legal right of pro-life challengers to bring the case. Abortion opponents asked the court to force the FDA to reinstate its abandoned safety measures regarding the chemical drug mifepristone.
