(Christian Headlines) The U.S. Supreme Court has set oral arguments for Dec. 1 in a blockbuster Mississippi case that could transform the nation’s abortion laws and lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, involves a Mississippi abortion law that prohibits abortion after the 15th week of a woman’s term. It includes exceptions for medical emergencies and fetal abnormality.
The case could be the biggest abortion case in decades – and perhaps as big as any case since Roe itself. It will be the first time the high court has heard oral arguments in an abortion case since the conservative bloc grew to six members with the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett.
