Supreme Court to Consider Mississippi’s 15-Week Abortion Ban
The Supreme Court has decided to hear a Mississippi case that could allow states to ban abortions after 15 weeks of gestation.
The case will probably be heard in the fall of this year. It comes as Democrats and President Joe Biden intensify their push to expand the Supreme Court from its current nine members, in part to protect abortion rights.
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves hailed the court’s decision, saying a review of the nation’s abortion laws was “long past due.”
“The sanctity of life. The future of our children. Mississippi is at the forefront of protecting both. And that is what is at stake in the case we have been praying the U.S. Supreme Court would decide to hear,” the Republican governor said on social media.
The U.S. Supreme Court said May 17 that it will hear oral arguments during its next term on a 2018 law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. A decision is expected by June 2022.
