Supreme Court Seems Poised to Uphold Mississippi’s Abortion Law
posted on December 2, 2021The New York Times‘s Adam Liptak reports, “The Supreme Court seemed poised on Wednesday to uphold a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, in what would be a momentous and polarizing decision to roll back the abortion rights the court has defined over the last half century.” The Supreme Court’s six conservative justices seemed supportive of the law, which “would discard decades of precedent.” Liptak writes, “Until the last few years, the prospect of overruling Roe would have seemed far-fetched.” President Donald Trump’s three appointees have changed that.
