Read the transcript of oral arguments in the Supreme Court's new abortion case

The case will turn on whether the Court agrees that two Texas anti-abortion laws place an "undue burden" on Texas women by closing abortion clinics, forcing many women to travel great distances and endure longer wait times to get the procedure.

A Vox poll found that about two-thirds of Americans think these laws are, indeed, an undue burden.
