The U.S. Supreme Court heard Roe vs. Wade challenge the abortion case
The U.S. Supreme Court will launch a major abortion lawsuit that will challenge Roe vs. Wade in an attempt to spark slow tensions over abortion rights in America.
The court said Monday it would consider whether abortion bans at the beginning of pregnancy are unconstitutional in a case related to a Mississippi state law banning abortions in 15 weeks. The Roe vs. Wade decision, first handed down in 1973, enshrined the constitutional right to abortion.
The Supreme Court is likely to hear the case this fall, with a ruling in the spring or summer of 2022 – ahead of the midterm elections next November.
