When the Supreme Court hands down its ruling next year in Mississippi's blockbuster challenge to Roe v. Wade the bulk of the decision will be focused on interpreting what the Constitution says – or doesn't say – about abortion.
"This is not to say that the court should announce the overruling of Lawrence and Obergefell if it decides to overrule Roe," the group argued. "But neither should the court hesitate to write an opinion that leaves those decisions hanging by a thread."
In Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court invalidated a law that forbid contraception, finding the Bill of Rights created "zones of privacy" for married couples. During the court's occasionally heated arguments this week, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked about the fate of those decisions if Roe is overturned. A lot of accepted constitutional rights, she noted, are not written into the nation's founding document.Demonstrators rally outside the Supreme Court ahead of arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, challenging a Mississippi abortion law that would ban elective abortions after 15 weeks.
That’s because abortion, Snead and anti-abortion advocates say, involves ending a life. That assertion, however, immediately runs into another vexing question.

The Supreme Court Must Not Reward Anti-Abortion ViolenceOverturning Roe or limiting the constitutional right to abortion is not about women’s health. It’s about politicians seeking to deny women bodily autonomy and exert control over their future. The bottom line is that abortion is a constitutional right, one in which states do not need to meddle. The Supreme Court must rule against the Mississippi abortion ban—for the rule of law.
