Mississippi abortion rights case heads to US Supreme Court

Newsday

Available for over a year

Could a woman's right to have an abortion in the United States be overturned? That's what activists fear as the Supreme Court hears a key case from Mississippi. We'll hear from a woman who is begging the court to listen to women like her who have had abortions. In France a controversial media personality from the far right has thrown his hat into the ring ahead of next year's Presidential elections. And we'll hear from a member of Canada's maple syrup cartel about a shortage of the sweet stuff.
