The Supreme Court agreed to a hear a case that will decide whether new restrictions placed on abortion clinics and doctors in Texas is placing an “undue burden” on women seeking legal abortions. USA Today reports the restrictions – which force doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and require clinics to meet standards for outpatient surgery centers – threaten to leave the state with 10 clinics. "This will be the most important abortion rights case before the Supreme Court in almost 25 years," said Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights.
