Wade, which determined that every person has the right to end a pregnancy before viability\\u2014typically around 23-24 weeks. As a result of this ruling, about half the states in the country are expected to take immediate action to ban or severely restrict abortion.\\nThis case was first filed in March 2018 by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Jackson Women\\u2019s Health Organization, the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi. The lawsuit aimed to block the state\\u2019s ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The ban was struck down by a federal district court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The state of Mississippi then asked the Supreme Court to hear the case, and arguments were held in December 2021.\\nPsst, Courtney has an 0nIyFan$, which is a horny way to support the show: https://linktr.ee/cocopeepshow\\nPrivate Parts Unknown is a proud member of the Pleasure Podcast network.
