Abortion rights advocates say women in states that have banned or restricted abortion since the overturn of Roe fear that they will be prosecuted for using abortion pills.
The Roe v Wade ruling has proven to be a major thorn in the side of the GOP, especially at the state level. In June 2020, the SCOTUS struck down a Louisiana law that closed nearly all abortion clinics statewide, citing it was a violation of Roe v Wade. The ruling could also have a bearing on the upcoming case, where the court will rule on Mississippi s abortion law. That is probably why Fitch has asked the court to overturn the ruling, which if done would give the state a better chance of winning.

After his early and loud opposition to Maryvilleâs mask ordinance gained him prominence in the local political scene â making him a voice for those fed up with Maryvilleâs City Council and skeptical of the coronavirus altogether â Tim Jackson is now less than a week away from his first appearance on a ballot after months of conservative activism.
Jackson, who in July gained local and regional media attention for posting a âNo masks allowedâ sign at his business, is one of two candidates who has gained widespread support from the Maryville and Nodaway County Resident Council as a conservative martyr, though he has only posted once on the groupâs Facebook page, making an initial announcement Nov. 25 of his campaign for City Council, promising that he is ânot a puppetâ in a note that contained 36 words and garnered 58 likes in a group that now has 1,100 members.Â
