The Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization

The Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization deals with the state of Mississippi’s abortion law. The state of Mississippi enacted a law in 2018 that says that no abortions can happen after 15 weeks of gestation which they calculate to be from the first day of the last menstrual period. First of all, this is not when a woman can get pregnant. The most likely time for a woman to conceive would be 13-15 days after the first day of the menstrual period. This would be a two week difference in their 15 week law of allowing an abortion to happen. The law also would allow abortions in cases of medical emergency and in cases where the fetus has abnormalities. Mississippi law does not allow an abortion passed 15 weeks even if caused by rape or incest. A person raped or subjected to incest may not even be aware that they are pregnant prior to 15 weeks and in my opinion, if a person has been raped or subjected to incest, no matter how long into a pregnancy, they should have the right to decide if they want to continue with the pregnancy or to receive an abortion. They also should not be made to travel to another state to have this done. This law in Mississippi never went into effect because the lower courts said this goes against Roe vs. Wade which made the state not allow the ruling. On Friday, June 24th the Supreme Court decided to eliminate the constitutional right to obtain an abortion which has been a law for 49 years since the Roe vs. Wade decision. The court was supposed to be just reviewing the Mississippi abortion restriction and not to be overturning a law that was 49 years old. With the Supreme Courts ruling overturning Roe vs. Wade, they have allowed each state to make their own rules regarding abortions. With this being overturned, 17 states have laws that immediately banned abortions. Four of the 17 states had this law on the books prior to Roe vs. Wade. Sixteen states and Washington DC have laws that protect abortion rights. Three states, Georgia, Ohio and South Carolina have laws that do not allow abortions after 6 weeks. With this ruling, it does not mean that abortions are banned throughout the United States. Each state is allowed to make the decision on what laws they will have as far as abortions go. With an election coming very soon, the people of the states will determine what representatives they want to run their states and many are making their choice based on what the candidates are pro life or pro choice. States that have eliminated the right to an abortion cannot ban someone from going to another state where they can legally receive an abortion, but in some cases, people may not afford to be able to travel. Some companies have come up with plans that will pay for an employees travel if they do indeed decide to go to another state to receive an abortion. The Supreme Court Justices that did not vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade are now concerned that other constitutional rights could are not safe and could also be overturned. These justices believe that the court has betrayed the guiding principles of the court. Can i get reply post on above paragraph?
