Is the Supreme Court going to overrule Roe v. Wade? That's the question raised by a Mississippi abortion case soon to come before court.
"The conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or tradition, the attorney general of Mississippi, Lynn Fitch, writes in her brief.
As the brief was being filed, I was outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Manhattan, where I saw a young woman crying on a street corner after an abortion. Abortion hurts women and kills children. Shortly thereafter, another young woman walked out with a friend, who asked her if she was OK. She was not OK. And we're not OK with a near half-century of legal abortion in the United States of America. The Mississippi case is an opportunity for us to reflect on what we're doing with legal abortion in America.
Specifically in question is a Mississippi law that prohibits abortion after 15 weeks, with exceptions for when the life or physical health of a mother is endangered, or in the case of severe, fatal abnormalities for an unborn child. Mississippi wants the court to throw out Roe and leave abortion legality up to the states. In states like New York, abortion would almost certainly remain. But it shouldn't.
To read the brief from Fitch is to face the horrible facts about abortion. Mississippi's Gestational Age Act points out some brutal realities: "The United States is one of a few countries that permit elective abortions after 20 weeks' gestation. After 12 weeks' gestation, 75% of all nations do not permit abortion except (in most instances) to save the life and to preserve the physical health of the mother."

These words remove the comfort of euphemisms. They exposing the lie that abortion is about health care and freedom.
We won't be a healthy society until we realize that what we're doing as a nation under Roe is not only killing more than a million children a year and leaving behind a trail of sorrow, but killing the soul of this nation. Roe makes no sense constitutionally or any other way. The Mississippi case is about more than overturning Roe; it's about saving us from the culture of death that we're immersed in. And it's going to take more than a court case to make sure that women and girls know that there is a better way -- including an end to the hostility to women's care centers that provide women with alternatives. But ending the tyranny of Roe in the law would certainly help.
I'm going out on a limb to bet this court deems Mississippi has no standing because a state can't have a baby much less an abortion! Next case.
Answer: “NO”... because chief justice Roberts cannot allow riots!
One of two scenarios will play out.
1) SCOTUS will rule against MS 5-4, with the three Dems, Roberts, and Gorsuch ruling for the majority.
2) SCOTUS will rule for MS 6-3, along party lines. President Harris will immediately pressure Congress to pack the Court with four new Justices so that there will be 13. She then nominates four Justices whose common thread is a belief that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was too conservative, and all nominations will pass the Senate with Uniparty support. The Court will reverse itself 7-6, and America will continue to slaughter its babies.
There is a third option, which is a Third Great Awakening that will turn the hearts of Americans towards God and against abortion. But anyone who thinks abortion will be lessened through the political process does not understand how deep the Deep State and the Uniparty is in the abortion business.
Or they just won’t hear the case.
Well, to get the Grace from God we need in order to save us - the country- from the demons that the Dems and assistant Dems (gop) of our takeover government and its funding, ya, were going to need Roe v Wade overturned at least
I mean, I don’t know. It’s what Sister Robert Andrew would say and she was wise (And fierce)
Likely SCOTUS will let the state do what they want. Since Nov 3 the Supremes have greatly enhanced the powers of state legislatures.
Sorry no standing because the state is not an aborted fetus!
