Abortion remarks by 9 court justices indicate how they lean

The fate of the court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion throughout the United States and its 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which reaffirmed Roe, probably won't be known until late June.

But during nearly two hours of arguments on Wednesday, conservative justices indicated they had questions about the court's current abortion framework. The justices were being asked to overrule the two seminal decisions in the context of a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks. The court's Roe and Casey precedents say a state can regulate but not ban abortion before the point of viability, which some place at about 24 weeks and others place earlier.

  1. This might make it harder to get an abortion ,but not impossible. What johnny boy Roberts will do is to use this ruling against the anti vaxxers , the second amendment and the first amendment. Bet money.
