An abortion rights group is suing the state of Mississippi over its abortion laws.
The Center for Reproductive Rights alleges in a 59-page lawsuit that the state has been conducting a “25-year legislative campaign to eliminate women’s constitutional right to access abortion.”
The group filed the suit following a new state law banning abortions after 15 weeks, the most restrictive abortion ban in the country, which the group argues is “unconstitutional.”
...
The lawsuit filed Monday is also on behalf of the clinic, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization. It challenges several of the state’s abortion laws, including the new 15-week ban, the mandatory 24-hour waiting period between a consultation and procedure and a requirement that only physicians can perform abortions.

The Left brought about the end of Roe due to wanting abortions anytime, anywhere, for any reason without any restrictions - *they* are the ones who filed this case. Not conservatives.

Heh, heh.
Great find.
Candidate Trump: I’ll appoint Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion case: OCT 19 2016 9:31 PM EDT

Donald Trump said the overturning of the landmark Supreme Court decision giving women the right to abortion “will happen, automatically,” if he is elected president and gets to appoint justices to the high court.
“I am pro-life,” Trump said during Wednesday night’s presidential debate when asked whether he wanted that decision, Roe v. Wade, reversed by the Supreme Court.
Trump said that if the ruling were to be reversed, laws on the legality or illegality of abortion would “go back to the individual states” to decide, which was the case prior to Roe v. Wade.
But when moderator Chris Wallace pressed him on whether he wanted the ruling overturned.
Trump said, “That will happen, automatically in my opinion!” because he would get to nominate potentially several justices to the court.
In response, Hillary Clinton said, “I strongly support Roe v. Wade.”
“I will defend Roe v. Wade, I will defend a woman’s right to make her own decision,” Clinton said.
She criticized Trump for having said in the past that a woman should be punished if she got an abortion when it was made illegal.
Trump fired back, saying Clinton was in favor of partial-birth abortions being legal, which meant that a fetus could be “ripped out” of a mother’s womb a day before she was due to give birth.

We want to get pregnant so we can have an abortion and be proud of it.
Because look at the suit - had they only sued over the 15 weeks issue, that may have been the only thing the Court could have ruled on - is a 15 week restriction constitutional? Instead, they sued over everything - 24 hour waiting period, must be performed by a physician, etc. That pretty much fully opened the door about whether or not a state can impose any restrictions at all...opening the door for Roe to be fully reviewed in its entirety.
Mississippi's law wasn't even unreasonable. It was in line with the abortion laws of many "enlightened" European countries that the left so idolizes.
They didn’t think this case through. There have lots of signals from members of the U.S. Supreme Court that they were looking to the right case to reverse Roe v. Wade.
As a practical matter, the case decided on Friday will not make any difference. There will always be states where abortion at any stage will be legal.
They have twitter, instagram and facebook accounts too. Would be a shame if people mocked them, thanked them for causing roe to be overturned.

Gee, they encourage baby killers to petition their state governments. What a concept.
When they filed the suit Ruth B Ginsberg was still alive. Talk about not thinking something through and bad timing.
