U.S. Supreme Court Will Soon Hear Landmark Abortion Case

Written by Dr. James Dobson | October 18, 2021

Just weeks from now, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case that determines the future of Roe v. Wade in America. Start praying now!

The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, involves the Gestational Age Act, a Mississippi law passed in 2018 that prohibits abortions after 15 weeks (with limited exceptions). The law was struck down in the lower courts, and now the Supreme Court has agreed to consider it. Oral arguments will be held on December 1.

At issue before the Court will be this question: Are all pre-viability limitations on abortion unconstitutional? Mississippi has asked the Court to not only uphold the law, but also to overrule Roe v. Wade. In its opening brief, Mississippi said: "[N]othing in constitutional text, structure, history, or tradition supports a right to abortion." 

This is an incredibly significant case and the implications cannot be overstated. As Dr. James Dobson has previously noted, "The science is unassailable and the truth is undeniable, but we must keep raising our voices until the ruling for life is irreversible!"

Join us in praying that God grants an overwhelming victory for life at the Supreme Court!
