US Supreme Court to hear first abortion case since 2007

The US Supreme Court agreed Friday to review states' curbs on abortion rights, its first case on the highly sensitive topic since 2007 and one that could affect millions of women. The court will be reviewing sharp restrictions imposed by Texas on abortion clinics. Abortion rights advocates said they feared the court's eventual ruling could reopen the abortion issue in the most far-reaching way since the court's historic 1973 ruling in the Roe v. Wade case legalized the procedure.
