Rutgers University vice dean and professor Kimberly Mutcherson sits down with NewsWorks Tonight host Dave Heller to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s pending decision on House Bill 2 that could have far-reaching effects on access to abortion.

The decision could result in changes in accessing abortion that would differ depending on whether you live in Pennsylvania, Delaware or New Jersey.
