Print this article The Supreme Court just agreed to hear an abortion case on a bill unlike many others. While states regularly enact restrictions on abortion such as 20-week bans and requirements that minors obtain parental consent to have an abortion, the courts haven’t allowed a ban before 20 weeks. Courts frequently strike down heartbeat bills that ban abortion at about six weeks gestation. However, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health is about a 15-week abortion ban proposed in Mississippi that a federal court previously struck down. The case could overturn Roe v. Wade and allow states to place further limits on abortion. Hopefully, the court does the right thing and allows Mississippi to make the 15-week restriction on abortion. While the pro-choice side argues that ending the life of an unborn human that’s been developing for 15 weeks or more is somehow healthcare, it ends a complex and developing human life.
