Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and 10 other GOP governors petitioned the Supreme Court Thursday to overturn its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.

The group of GOP executives cosigned a brief in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centers on a 2018 Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks. The governors pushed the Court to uphold Mississippi’s abortion ban as well as to overturn a pair of key Supreme Court rulings on abortion in Roe and in 1992’s Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey.
