Constitutional Law Scholars 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.
Amici are constitutional law scholars.
The brief argues that the right to abortion is well grounded in the Constitution under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause and rejecting a Due Process right to abortion would upend other Due Process rights.
Amici argue that stare decisis requires the Court to uphold precedent establishing the right to pre-viability abortion, which is non-arbitrary, workable, and constitutionally principled.
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is pro bono counsel.
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.
