Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus DOBBS, STATE HEALTH OFFICER OF THE MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, ET AL. v. JACKSON WOMEN'S HEALTH ORGANIZATION ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 19-1392. Argued December 1, 2021-Decided June 24, 2022 Mississippi's Gestational Age Act provides that "[e]xcept in a medical emergency or in the case of a severe fetal abnormality, a person shall not intentionally or knowingly perform . . . or induce an abortion of an unborn human being if the probable gestational age of the unborn hu- man being has been determined to be greater than fifteen (15) weeks." Miss. Code Ann. §41–41–191. Respondents-Jackson Women's Health Organization, an abortion clinic, and one of its doctors-challenged the Act in Federal District Court, alleging that it violated this Court's prec- edents establishing a constitutional right to abortion, in particular Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113, and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833. The District Court granted summary judg- ment in favor of respondents and permanently enjoined enforcement of the Act, reasoning that Mississippi's 15-week restriction on abortion violates this Court's cases forbidding States to ban abortion pre-viabil- ity. The Fifth Circuit affirmed. Before this Court, petitioners defend the Act on the grounds that Roe and Casey were wrongly decided and that the Act is constitutional because it satisfies rational-basis review. Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives. Pp. 8–79. (a) The critical question is whether the Constitution, properly un- derstood, confers a right to obtain an abortion. Casey's controlling opinion skipped over that question and reaffirmed Roe solely on the basis of stare decisis. A proper application of stare decisis, however, requires an assessment of the strength of the grounds on which Roe

Ken Penders @KenPenders : How screwed-up is Clarence Thomas's interpretation of the Constitution, Original Intent & US Law? George Washington & Thomas Jefferson would have him picking cotton on their plantations. He wouldn't get anywhere near the Supreme Court except to clean the toilets. YOU MAY NOT SEE IT BUT KNUCKLES IS GIVING YOU THE MIDDLE FINGER FOR YOUR RACISM.

Abigail Markstein @Asae Replying to @hamcarless This tweet is sickening. Clarence Thomas is a dirty p---------- and as a trans woman I'm giving everyone permission to use the n word on him 1:44 PM 6/24/22 Twitter for Android 3 Retweets 23 Quote Tweets 5 Likes 22
