PHOENIX Gov. Doug Ducey wants the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn it s historic decision in Roe v. Wade and leave the question of whether to allow abortion in Arizona to state lawmakers and to him as an unapologetic foe of the practice.
Ducey is among 12 governors who filed a brief Thursday with the nation s high court in support of a Mississippi law that bans terminating a pregnancy after the 15th week. Enforcement of that law has been blocked by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
But the brief goes beyond arguments by Mississippi that the law is a permissible regulation of abortion as it does not ban the practice outright.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is joining 11 other governors in calling for the Supreme Court to overturn landmark abortion rights decisions, such as Roe v. Wade, and allow states to make their own laws governing the procedure.
Reynolds is one of a dozen Republican governors who signed onto an amicus, or friend of the court, brief Thursday asking the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit its previous abortion decisions, such as Roe v. Wade in 1973 and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992. Those decisions established a constitutional right to abortion and the legal framework governing the procedure in the United States. For years, democratically elected representatives in states like Iowa have tried to defend innocent human life only to be stymied by the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, Reynolds said in a statement. For too long, this precedent has trampled on state sovereignty and destroyed the lives of millions of unborn babies. I am proud to join with governors from across

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has joined 11 other Republican governors and more than 200 GOP lawmakers and officials from across the country in asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the landmark, controversial Roe v. Wade abortion ruling.
In a brief filed Thursday, the governors joined Mississippi s argument that the 14th Amendment does not include the right to abortion and that the rulings in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey upset the constitutional balance between states and the federal government.
The 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade established
a woman s right to an abortion nationwide, and nearly two decades later the court upheld that ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

PIERRE, S.D. – Today, Governor Kristi Noem and 240 women scholars, professionals, and pro-life feminist organizations filed an amicus brief in the most important pro-life case to be argued at the Supreme Court of the United States in at least a generation.
“For my entire life, women have been told that pregnancy is a barrier to a successful career. This lie has led to millions of abortions, despite women like me and countless others proving that successful careers and motherhood are not mutually exclusive,”
