Mississippi asked the Supreme Court Thursday to abolish federal abortion rights, arguing that the landmark Roe v. Wade decision violates states’ 10th-Amendment powers to decide public policy within their borders

, arguing in a brief that Roe v. Wade and other precedents entitling women to end their pregnancies in some circumstances trample on states’ 10th-Amendment powers to decide public policy within their borders.of a 2019 appeals court decision striking down a state law prohibiting abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, is to be argued after the court’s new term begins in October, with a decision expected by next summer.

The Mississippi case has been regarded as a bellwether for abortion rights, challenging precedents that set viability—the fetus’s ability to survive outside the womb—as the baseline for expanded government power to restrict the procedure. In its initial appeal, filed in June 2020, Mississippi argued its Gestational Age Act complied with existing precedent, suggesting that Roe be overruled only if the court found no other way to uphold the state law.

“Roe and Casey are egregiously wrong. The conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or tradition,” Mississippi argued. “Roe broke from prior cases, Casey failed to rehabilitate it, and both recognize a right that has no basis in the Constitution.”

Uh, wasn’t a key part of the Roe decision the disparity between state laws that denied equal protection under the 14th? Cynical me thinks ole MS is trying to lose this to keep the wedge issue going.

Stop the slaughter of the innocents! We abridged individual right to avoid remote possibility of COVID death. But killing 300,000 to 600,000 babies a year in name of individual’s alleged right to choose.

The 4th Amend protect privacy from unreasonable government intrusion The actual case and controversy is the deprivation of liberty of the doctor performing the abortion by incarceration. But this issue was not raised below or in any abortion case.

Mississippi has said that it despises women.

Public policy? A womans vagina falls within public policy?

Abolishing women’s right to choose would be violation of 1st amendment.

Please explain to me why is it is anyone’s business but a pregnant monther’s to choose or not to choose an abortion.

A foetation has a soul. Education of bioethics and chastity is required.

Mississippi needs less breeding, not more.

I love the way Republicans can spend half-a-century trying to overturn Roe v Wade, but that ruling about corporations being people is sacrosanct and no one will ever dare touch it.

And they are right to do so, the federal government shouldn’t make laws from 1000 miles away
