The Supreme Court announced it will hear arguments on an abortion case that may affect Roe v. Wade. 

It's a case out of Mississippi that's centered around a law that bans abortions after 15 weeks.  

The state and anti-abortion advocates are asking the justices to reverse Roe v. Wade.  

Mississippi is one of a handful of states that have passed restrictive abortion legislation with the hope the Supreme Court's conservative majority will uphold these laws.
