The United States Supreme Court has agreed to consider a major rollback of abortion rights, saying it will decide whether states can ban abortions before a foetus can survive outside the womb.
The court’s order on Monday sets up a showdown over abortion, probably in the fall (from September), with a more conservative court seemingly ready to dramatically alter nearly 50 years of rulings on abortion rights.
The court first announced a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion in the 1973 Roe v Wade decision and reaffirmed it 19 years later.
The abortion-rights advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America called the court’s decision “a direct challenge to Roe v Wade, opening the door for this majority-conservative, anti-choice (Supreme Court) to overthrow Roe.”
"Oral utterance of the N-word and other racially derogatory terms, even in the presence of the plaintiff, may be insufficient to establish a hostile work environment," a ruling from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reads.
