Senate fails to codify abortion rights

The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will meet Thursday for the first time since the leak last week of a draft majority opinion indicating that the high court may overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision on abortion rights. Democrats failed to get the 60 Senate votes needed to advance legislation protecting abortion access across the country. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane joins "CBS News Mornings" to discuss.

With Roe in doubt, little aid for families

The possibility of the U.S. Supreme Court scrapping federal protection for abortion rights is drawing new attention to the lack of resources and support for people raising children. Data included in an amicus brief filed on behalf of the Jackson Women's Health Organization in Mississippi shows that 14 of the states with the most restrictive abortion laws invest the least in policies and programs to assist women, children and families. CBS News political reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns joins Vladimir Duthiers and Anne-Marie Green to discuss who might be impacted most by the court's potential decision.
