States from California to New York have been stockpiling abortion pills as the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on its first abortion case since overturning Roe v. Wade.

The court on Tuesday will hear oral arguments on whether to limit the use of mifepristone, one of two drugs most commonly used for abortions in the U.S. At stake is access to the pill through the mail, as well as whether to curb its use from the current limit of 10 weeks pregnancy to seven weeks.
