Mississippi asks Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade

ABC News’ Devin Dwyer discusses the Supreme Court agreeing to hear arguments on Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks, the most significant challenge to Roe v. Wade in a generation.after 15 weeks of pregnancy and overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that gave women the unfettered right to end a pregnancy before a fetus is viable outside the womb.

Republican Attorney General Lynn Fitch, leading the case, declares outright that the time has come for the justices to discard long-standing precedent because Roe and Casey, a 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to abortion access for women, are"egregiously wrong." Mississippi argues that states have compelling interests in protecting the lives of the unborn -- interests that have been neglected, it claims, by decades of flawed legal analyses by the court's majority.Pro-life and pro-choice demonstrators argue outside of the Supreme Court as justices hear a major abortion case on the legality of a Republican-backed Louisiana law that imposes restrictions on abortion doctors, in Washington, March 4, 2020.

Abortion rights advocates were quick to respond Thursday, calling Mississippi's legal case"stunning" and"extreme.""Their goal is for the Supreme Court to take away our right to control our own bodies and our own futures -- not just in Mississippi, but everywhere," said Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is challenging the law, in a statement.

This post is not objective. ABC should be impartial. Is it truly a “right” to murder a baby? “Aggressive and attack” are HOT descriptive words. How about some objectivity?
