228 Republican Lawmakers Urge Supreme Court to Overturn Roe v. Wade

Forty-four Senate Republicans and 184 House Republicans urged the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade when the justices review a Mississippi law during their next term.

โ€œCongress and the States have shown that they are ready and able to address the issue in ways that reflect Americansโ€™ varying viewpoints and are grounded in the science of fetal development and maternal health,โ€ wrote the lawmakers in an amicus brief (pdf) to the court dated Wednesday.

At issue in the case is a 2018 Mississippi law that bars most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. The Mississippi law was challenged by the Jackson Womenโ€™s Health Organization and lower courts have since ruled against it.

The lawmakersโ€™ filing comes about a week after Mississippiโ€™s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, called on the high court to overturn Roe v. Wade so the state can uphold its law, arguing that โ€œthe conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or traditionโ€ and further characterized the 1973 ruling as โ€œdangerously corrosive to our constitutional system.โ€ Roe v. Wade ruled that abortion is legal prior to what they said is viability, or around the 24th week of pregnancy.

โ€œAbortion is fundamentally different from any right this Court has ever endorsed,โ€ Fitch wrote a week ago. โ€œNo other right involves, as abortion does, โ€˜the purposeful termination of a potential life.โ€™โ€

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and other Republican leadership members signed onto the brief. Several days before that, a trio of Republican senatorsโ€”Josh Hawley (Mo.), Mike Lee (Utah), and Ted Cruz (Texas)โ€”filed their own brief.

โ€œThe States,โ€ the lawmakersโ€™ Wednesday filing further argued, โ€œhave expressed the desire to protect life through a burgeoning number of laws enacted to further the Statesโ€™ important interests in protecting women from dangerous late-term abortion, ending the destruction of human life based on sexism, racism, ableism, upholding the integrity of the medical profession against the barbaric practice of dismembering human beings in the womb, and protecting preborn infants from the horrific pain of such abortions.
