Controversial Mississippi Abortion Law Considered By Supreme Court

(Washington, DC) — There’s no inherent constitutional right to “end a human life.” That’s what Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart argued at the Supreme Court while justices considered his state’s abortion law that bans nearly all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Julie Rikelman, from the Center for Reproductive Rights, insisted the Mississippi law is “flatly unconstitutional under decades of precedent.” She said it also imposes a disproportionate impact on poor women.
