In this clip, Joan Biskupic, legal affairs editor for Reuters, discusses the personal stories shared by abortion-rights supporters in amicus briefs urging the Supreme Court to strike down contested provisions in Texas' omnibus antiabortion-rights law (HB 2). "For the first time, those challenging the abortion restrictions in Texas are ... submit[ting] several briefs that reflect personal stories of women who might be affected by these kinds of regulations, from women who had abortions and want to tell the court that they had them for medical reasons, economic reasons, other reasons, and they do not regret those abortions," Biskupic states.

According to Reuters TV, the amicus briefs specifically target "the Supreme Court's crucial swing vote, Justice Anthony Kennedy." In an earlier abortion-rights case, "Kennedy mentioned a brief from women who regretted getting abortions. This time, abortion supporters ... are hoping to flip the script," Reuters TV reports (Biskupic, Reuters TV, 1/3).
