Constitutional Accountability Center Amicus Brief in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health
Brief filed at the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the Center's challenge to Mississippi's pre-viability abortion ban.
Amicus is the Constitutional Accountability Center, a think tank, public interest law firm, and action center dedicated to fulfilling the progressive promise of the Constitution’s text and history.
The brief argues that the text and history of the Fourteenth Amendment protect individual rights essential to liberty. It demonstrates that the State’s arguments for overruling Roe and Casey are based on a fundamentally flawed form of originalism and are inconsistent with constitutional text and history. Amici conclude that the Mississippi ban is unconstitutional under any fair reading of the Court’s precedent.
This brief was one of over 50 amicus briefs filed supporting this Supreme Court case, which challenges Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. For more information on the case, go to Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
