(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court on Monday accepted a Mississippi challenge to the abortion precedent set by Roe v. Wade.
In an unsigned order, the court said that it would hear the case but limited its scope to the first question presented in the petition, which is whether “all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortion are unconstitutional.” The court will not consider the other two questions, which related to scrutiny of abortion restrictions.
The court’s acceptance of the case electrified the anti-abortion movement, with many leaders hoping that it would signal the end of a decades-long battle to send the abortion question back to individual states. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
