WASHINGTON, DC- Mississippi Republican Attorney General Lynn Fitch, presented the case to the court to be considered, arguing that with increased technological development, a fetus as young as 15 weeks could be considered legally viable, and would no longer fall under the legal definition defined by Roe V. Casey in 1992.
DSU Professor Emeritus of Political Science and History Samuel Hoff told 47ABC the challenge is the latest in a long string of abortion restricting laws passed by Republican-controlled statehouses and signed into law by Republican governors.
He says the difference with this argument, is that the Supreme Court accepted the challenge, and currently has a 6-3 conservative super-majority, adding momentum for pro-life legislation being introduced across the country.

Perhaps Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch should sue Secretary of State Michael Watson.
After all, Watson essentially did what Fitch and 18 other Republican state attorneys general sued four states for doing: enacting changes to election procedure without garnering legislative approval.
That high-profile lawsuit, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and joined by Fitch, sought to have about 20 million ballots invalidated in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Instead, the plaintiffs wanted those states’ Republican legislatures to select the winner. Presumably, they would have selected President Donald Trump instead of former Vice President Joe Biden, who won those four states on the way to capturing the presidency.
