Lawmakers reach deal on spending bill, but hurdles remain Updated

FILE – People hold signs featuring faces of Supreme Court justices, during a rally in front of the Supreme Court in Washington on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2021, as the court hears a case that concerns a Mississippi law that bans most abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, about two months earlier than Roe v. Wade allows. Even as the justices weigh the case of the Mississippi law barring most abortions after 15 weeks, the political clash is already intensifying, with Democrats warning supporters that the court is poised to reverse access to abortion 50 years after it was recognized as a constitutional right.
