Mississippi Files Brief Calling on Supreme Court to Overturn Roe v. Wade: 'Nothing in Constitutional Text, Structure, History, or Tradition Supports a Right to Abortion'Now the only remaining question is how the court's Republican-appointed majority will vote. Only Justice Clarence Thomas is explicitly on the record as anti-Roe, and only he and Justice Samuel Alito have established consistently conservative records over a significant period of time. [LifeSiteNews.com] Mississippi officially submitted its brief to the United States Supreme Court Thursday in defense of its law banning abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy, in which it makes the case that the nation's highest court should take the opportunity to finally overturn Roe v.

"[N]othing in constitutional text, structure, history, or tradition supports a right to abortion," declares the brief from the Mississippi Attorney General's Office, before making what it calls an "overwhelming" case for overruling the "egregiously wrong" Roe, along with 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey (which opened the door to some abortion regulations while reaffirming the "right" to abort itself). "Roe based a right to abortion on decisions protecting aspects of privacy under the Due Process Clause," but "broke from prior cases by invoking a general 'right of privacy' unmoored from the Constitution," the brief notes. "Notably, Casey did not embrace Roe's reasoning," but instead defended "Roe's result—based on the liberty this Court has afforded to certain 'personal decisions,'" while similarly "failing to tie a right to abortion to anything in the Constitution"...
