FIRST LOOK: Mike Pence Announces Filing of Amicus Brief Asking Supreme Court to Overturn Roe v Wade

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. In addition to communicating support for the state s 15-week abortion law being heard before the U.S. Supreme Court, the brief asks that the Court overturn the landmark decisions of Roe v.
