Democrats wanted to make abortion rights a focal point in 2024. The Supreme Court just guaranteed it.

• The Supreme Court said it would hear a case about limiting access to a common abortion pill.
• The court's expected ruling next summer could upend the 2024 presidential campaign.
• The justices' decision to hear the case virtually guarantees abortion will remain a major focus in the campaign.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear its most consequential abortion rights case since it overturned Roe v. Wade, adding the possibility that a high court opinion could rock the nation months before voters head to the polls, and all but guaranteeing the issue remains top of mind going into the summer.
