summary:

In 2022, the nation’s highest court deliberated on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which regarded the constitutionality of a Mississippi law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Lower courts had ruled the law was unconstitutional under Roe v. Wade. Under Roe, states had been prohibited from banning abortions before around 23 weeks—when a fetus is considered able to survive outside a woman’s womb.

In its decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of Mississippi’s law—and overturned Roe after its nearly 50 years as precedent.
