Roe v. Wade to be OVERTURNED?! Attorneys Marc Victor & Andy Marcantel – leaked Supreme Court opinion
Roe v. Wade to be OVERTURNED?! Attorneys Marc Victor & Andrew Marcantel analyze leaked Supreme Court opinion Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
In the most consequential abortion rights case in generations, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering Mississippi’s request to overturn Roe v. Wade and find there is no constitutional right to abortion.
In 2018, Mississippi passed a law called the “Gestational Age Act,” which prohibits all abortions, with few exceptions, after 15 weeks’ gestational age. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the only licensed abortion facility in Mississippi, and one of its doctors filed a lawsuit in federal district court challenging the law and requesting an emergency temporary restraining order (TRO). After a hearing, the district court granted the TRO while the litigation proceeded to discovery. After discovery, the district court granted the clinic’s motion for summary judgment and enjoined Mississippi from enforcing the law, finding that the state had not provided evidence that a fetus would be viable at 15 weeks, and Supreme Court precedent prohibits states from banning abortions prior to viability. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed.
Attorneys Marc J. Victor and Andrew Marcantel of the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm discuss the case and analyze the leaked Supreme Court opinion.
