On December 1, the court will consider a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.The challenges to the restrictive state abortion laws come as conservative-leaning justices on the Supreme Court enjoy a comfortable six to three majority, which includes the three newest justices appointed by former President Donald Trump.The Supreme Court\u00a0began a new term last month, when it heard its first in-person oral arguments since the court began hearing cases virtually when the COVID-19 pandemic began.Other major cases on controversial issues the court is considering include a case\u00a0challenging the constitutionality of a New York concealed-carry gun law and a\u00a0case\u00a0involving whether state dollars should go to private religious schools.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
