MISSISSIPPI

The Supreme Court’s six conservative justices have indicated they will uphold a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The justices were being asked to overrule two cornerstone decisions in the context of a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks.

"It doesn't seem to follow that pregnancy, and then parenthood, are all part of the same burden," said the Supreme Court justice.

The Supreme Court has heard arguments in which the court was asked to overturn a nationwide right to abortion that has existed for nearly 50 years.

Questions posed Wednesday and past writings on precedent from Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett offer important insights into how the court could rule in Mississippi’s abortion case.

Today’s oral argument signaled that the Court is poised to reverse <em>Roe v. Wade </em>outright.

In his 2018 confirmation hearings, Kavanaugh repeatedly emphasized that Roe v. Wade had set an important precedent that was later reaffirmed by Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

The fate of abortion in the U.S. appeared to be on shaky ground as a divided Supreme Court weighs a Mississippi law. A decision in the case is expected by summer.

Supreme Court justices weigh whether to uphold a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks and overrule the 1973 Roe vs. Wade.

The justices on Wednesday will weigh whether to uphold a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks and overrule the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

Nearly 50 years after Roe v. Wade, the future of abortion rights will face its most consequential test Wednesday.

Anti-abortion petitioners in the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health argue that Roe v. Wade should be overturned.

In D.C. and across the country, people gathered by the thousands in coordinated rallies to demand reproductive justice for all. The main message? Everyone loves someone who's had an abortion.

At issue is whether to reverse the court's nearly half-century-old decision, Roe v. Wade, and subsequent decisions declaring that women have a constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy.

A Mississippi case before the Supreme Court on Wednesday could result in a major rollback of abortion rights. The state has just one remaining clinic that offers abortions.

Abortion activists are protesting in Mississippi’s capital as the state takes center stage in a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court case that could end a nationwide right to abortion.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority justices are signaling they will allow states to ban abortion much earlier in pregnancy.

Supreme Court justices considering a major abortion case Wednesday will hear from just three lawyers: one representing the state of Mississippi, another representing Mississippi’s only abortion clinic and the last representing the Biden administration.

The justices could decide whether to end 50 years of abortion protections with a case from Mississippi.

If Roe v Wade is overturned, millions of American women will lose access to legal abortions.

So says the controversial judge who struck down the law that comes before the Supreme Court tomorrow.

The case being argued Wednesday comes from Mississippi, where a 2018 law would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Both sides are telling the Supreme Court there’s no middle ground in Wednesday’s showdown over abortion.

A unanimous Supreme Court on Monday rejected a claim that the Memphis, Tennessee, area has been taking water that belongs to Mississippi from an underground aquifer that sits beneath parts of both states. The high court's first decision of the term came in a case argued in October, deflating expectations that the justices would resolve the issue of whether Texas' ban on most abortions could be challenged in federal court. Two cases on the Texas issue were argued Nov. 1 under an accelerated process that the court has previously used only rarely and in some of its most notable decisions, including the Bush v. Gore case that settled the 2000 presidential election.
