The case Roe v. Wade established case law and gave women the right to abort up to approximately 23 weeks of pregnancy. The law reaches the Supreme Court due to a decision by the state of Mississippi that, in March 2018, approved a law that prohibits abortion from 15 weeks, contradicting the sentence of 49 years ago. This new directive argued that abortion is “a barbaric practice, dangerous for the maternal patient and humiliating for the medical profession”, without providing any exception for cases of rape or incest. Mississippi’s decision was the subject of an appeal filed by the only clinic in the state where voluntary termination of pregnancy was possible, based on the Roe v Wade case law. The process ended this Friday.
