The Supreme Court Monday agreed to take up the case of a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, potentially paving the way for the majority-conservative court to limit the rights outlined in the landmark case, Roe v. Wade.
“Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, which then-Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican, signed into law in 2018, made exceptions only for medical emergencies or cases in which there is a ‘severe fetal abnormality,’ but not for instances of rape or incest. A federal judge in Mississippi struck down the law in November 2018, and the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that ruling in December 2019,” CNN reported Monday, as the Supreme Court granted the appeal.
