In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Mississippi has requested that the Court green-light its unconstitutional 15-week abortion ban, a move that would require the justices to overturn or gut Roe v. Wade.
“The center of Roe is the viability standard,” Nash says. “If you take that away, then you have essentially upended Roe.” Add to that the Court’s refusal to suspend an extreme and unprecedented six-week ban in Texas — which dangles a $10,000 reward to anyone willing to report those they suspect of “aiding and abetting” abortion — and officials eager to ban abortion are pushing legal boundaries to see just how far they can go.
On March 3, Florida became the first state legislature to pass a 15-week ban on abortion in 2022, and Florida governor Ron DeSantis is expected to sign it. While the bill does make an exception for cases that pose “serious risk” to the pregnant person’s health or involve a fetal anomaly, it does not include an exemption for rape or incest.
