Mississippi Explains All on Abortion

In her opinion piece for the New York Times, Linda Greenhouse argues that Mississippi’s brief in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is not about persuading the justices to uphold Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban and overturn Roe v. Wade. Instead, Greenfield suggests that Mississippi’s Attorney General, Lynn Fitch, is informing the public of her politics in the hopes of successfully campaigning for a higher office in the future. 

The Center is challenging Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban in Dobbs. Oral arguments are scheduled for December 1, 2021.
