Mississippi's attorney general asks Supreme Court to overturn Roe v.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Abortion rights advocates have warned that overturning Roe would have a cascading effect at the state level, where anti-abortion activists have been carefully preparing for just such a contingency amid the Supreme Court's conservative shift over recent years.
50% : "This Court should overrule Roe and Casey," Fitch wrote, referring also to the court's 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
39% : Supreme Court precedent tracing back to Roe prohibits states from banning abortion before fetal viability, which occurs around 24 weeks.
36% : Calling the court's precedent on abortion "egregiously wrong," Attorney General Lynn Fitch (R) explicitly set the dispute over Mississippi's restrictive law on a collision course with the landmark 1973 decision in Roe that first articulated the constitutional right to abortion.
