Don’t underestimate women

This fall, the Supreme Court will take up one of the most important cases since Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey challenged Roe v. Wade but ultimately left the core “right” to abortion in place.

In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, abortion advocates will challenge Mississippi’s new law restricting abortions to within 15 weeks. Many filing amici briefs on the pro-life side will rightfully focus on the undeniable humanity of the unborn child seen through ever more clear sonograms throughout a human being’s remarkable development. Others will argue about the state’s right to restrict abortion based on the age they determine. Many will focus on viability. It is a real possibility that the Supreme Court will return abortion laws back to the states. In effect, Roe could be overturned.
