Mississippi’s attorney general filed a brief with the US Supreme Court on Thursday arguing that the high court’s 1973 ruling in
Roe v. Wade was “egregiously wrong” and should be overturned. Attorney General Lynn Fitch urged the justices to not only reverse lower court rulings blocking a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks, but to use the case to overturn the landmark ruling that established the legal right to abortion.

“Under the Constitution, may a State prohibit elective abortions before viability? Yes. Why? Because nothing in constitutional text, structure, history, or tradition supports a right to abortion,” Fitch wrote in the brief. “The conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or tradition,” she added.
