In a Supreme Court brief, the state asks the justices to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Sixteen states have attempted to ban abortions before viability.
The high court agreed in May to hear a challenge to Mississippi s ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, giving its new, six-member conservative majority a chance to roll back the 1973 ruling that women have a constitutional right to abortion.
In their sharpest framing of the blockbuster dispute since the appeal was filed at the Supreme Court more than a year ago, Mississippi noted the text of the Constitution does not mention abortion and argued that adherence to Roe was dangerously corrosive to our constitutional system.
