While the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the biggest abortion case in almost a decade …

… protesters made their own cases in front of the court.

The Texas law in question imposed strict, hospital-like guidelines on abortion providers. About half of Texas' abortion clinics closed as a result.

Pro-abortion rights activists say the law places an undue burden on women seeking abortions.

Anti-abortion activists say the restrictions are necessary to protect women's health.

SCOTUS will probably make a decision this summer.
