On the 49th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision on abortion rights, Democratic lawmakers spoke out.
The landmark 1973 ruling held that the Constitution protects the right of women to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. In December, the Supreme Court heard arguments for a case involving a 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi that, if upheld, could gut the precedent set by Wade.
