Washington, DC – News broke this week that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear an important Mississippi abortion case that may affect the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that decriminalized abortion in America.
The case is Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. At issue is a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks gestation. The question is whether it is unconstitutional for states to regulate or limits abortion before the 24-week determination of viability in Roe.
“Due to the new advances in the science of fetology, we know so much more about human gestational development than they did in 1973. Those advances show that babies in the womb are living, growing human beings whose lives deserve the same legal protections as anyone else,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “In normal times, given the Conservative composition of the Supreme Court, this case would be a slam dunk in favor of protecting children in the womb. But these are not normal times at all.”
