The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on whether it should overturn a nationwide right to abortion. Here's some of what the justices said in response, and questions they asked. A ruling isn't expected before June.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett suggested that so-called safe haven laws in all 50 states that allow mothers to relinquish parental rights mean women can’t be forced into motherhood. She asked about states “requiring the woman to go 15, 16 weeks more” past the point of viability “and then terminate parental rights at the conclusion.” ”Why didn’t you address the safe haven laws and why don’t they matter?” she asked a lawyer arguing against Mississippi’s ban.
