The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively
ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and
giving individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the
practice altogether.
The ruling came in the court's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson
Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law
that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Republican-
led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down
a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from
taking place.
"We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a
profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the
citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion.
Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those
decisions and return that authority to the people and their
elected representatives," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the
court's opinion.
Alito's opinion began with an exploration and criticism of Roe
v. Wade and its holding that while states have "a legitimate
interest in protecting ‘potential life,'' this interest was not
strong enough to prohibit abortions before the time of fetal
viability, understood to be at about 23 weeks into pregnancy.
