“Mississippi will continue this mission to the United States Supreme Court.” Mississippi vows further appeal after loss on abortion ban.
Mississippi's outgoing governor vowed Saturday to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Mississippi's ban on abortion at 15 weeks.
Mississippi's ban at 15 weeks of pregnancy has never taken effect. It was blocked by U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves in 2018, a move the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit ruled was correct. “The Fifth Circuit recognized today what is obvious: Mississippi’s abortion ban defies decades of Supreme Court precedent,” Hillary Schneller, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement. “With this ruling, Mississippi — and other states trying to put abortion out of reach — should finally get the message."
A central question in the case is about viability — whether a fetus can survive outside the woman at 15 weeks. The clinic presented evidence that viability is impossible at 15 weeks, and the appeals court said that the state “conceded that it had identified no medical evidence that a fetus would be viable at 15 weeks.” The judges cited a Supreme Court ruling to say Mississippi can't ban abortion before viability.
