<snip>
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a challenge to a Texas law that would leave the state with about 10 abortion clinics, down from more than 40. The court has not heard a major abortion case since 2007, and the new case has the potential to affect millions of women and to revise the constitutional principles governing abortion rights.
Texas is the second-most-populous state in the nation home to 5.4 million women of reproductive age, abortion providers challenging the law wrote in their brief urging the court to hear the case. More than 60,000 of those women choose to have an abortion each year.
The case concerns two parts of a state law that imposes strict requirements on abortion providers. It was passed by the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature and signed into law in July 2013 by Rick Perry, the governor at the time.
