The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today about a Louisiana law that restricts access to abortions and is among several recent state laws designed to challenge Roe v. Wade. There also are other cases on the docket that could have long-term implications for issues tied to religion. A new Fact Tank post ([link removed]) looks at recent data on Americans’ views toward the Supreme Court, finding that U.S. Christians largely see Supreme Court favorably, and that most U.S. adults see the court as neutral toward religion.
