Upon Further Review

On Dec. 1, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in a case titled Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, in which the state of Mississippi is asking the court to overrule its decisions in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, two rulings in which the court recognized a federal constitutional right to obtain a pre-viability abortion. The justices' questions during the oral argument suggest a strong likelihood that a majority exists to overrule both Roe and Casey, which would then return the question of abortion rights to legislative control.
