Supreme Court

A Gallup poll shows Americans’ confidence in the country’s highest court dropped 11 percentage points from a year ago.

Francis didn’t refer to the ruling or explicitly mention abortion in his homily.

The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states. Here is an overview of abortion legislation and the expected impact of the court's decision in every state.

The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down a New York state law that restricted who could get a permit to carry a gun in public.

The Supreme Court gave Republican legislative leaders in North Carolina a win Thursday in an ongoing fight over the state's latest photo identification voting law.

The Supreme Court issued opinions on Monday, and once again, the Court did not include a ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the highly-anticipated abortion case that could overrule Roe v. Wade.

More than half of abortions in America are now done with pills, rather than surgery. The battle over access to medication abortions will only grow if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

If the U.S. Supreme Court follows through on overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide, it would immediately split the country into states with abortion access and those that outlaw it.

If the Supreme Court decision is issued as written, it would likely lead to a patchwork system where some states protect access to abortion and others would ban or severely limit the practice.

As the Supreme Court considers overturning Roe v. Wade, several polls on abortion rights reflect most Americans support the right to choose while some oppose it.

The Supreme Court is known for keeping secrets. And now, in its biggest case in years, an apparent draft of an opinion has been leaked.
