Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, was quoted in several publications in reaction to the state of Mississippi’s opening brief in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization filed on July 22. In the brief, Mississippi asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Roe and Casey decisions and uphold the state’s unconstitutional ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Center will be arguing the case to defend abortion rights at the Supreme Court this fall.
