This Supreme Court Case Could Change Everything: What You Need to Know - Sekulow TV

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a MAJOR abortion case.

The case – Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization – is related to a Mississippi law that banned most abortions (with limited exceptions) after 15 weeks, which directly contradicts the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide prior to viability – Roe v. Wade.

Lower federal courts struck the law down, citing Supreme Court cases that declare that the right to abortion prevents states from protecting children in the womb before the child is “viable,” even when the child is as fully developed as in babies of 15 weeks’ gestation and beyond. From there, Mississippi filed a petition seeking the Supreme Court to intervene. We filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to put the Constitution itself ahead of its misguided pro-abortion precedents, and now the Supreme Court has agreed to take the case.
