Why It's Likely That Supreme Court Will Overturn Roe v. Wade

Published: Dec. 2, 2021, 8 a.m.

The days of abortion on demand could be numbered. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case in which the high court could overturn its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade and send power back to the states to determine their own abortion laws.\xa0\n"I feel like the Supreme Court right now has a very clear, intellectually honest blueprint to overturn Roe v. Wade, restore the Constitution to its proper meaning and understanding, and return the issue of abortion back to the people of America," says Denise Harle, a senior attorney at the Christian legal aid group Alliance Defending Freedom.\xa0\nThe case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization stems from a Mississippi law, passed in 2018 but not in effect, which aims to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Mississippi\u2019s only remaining abortion clinic immediately challenged the a lawsuit. Now, the Supreme Court again is considering the constitutionality of abortion.\xa0\nHarle, who directs Alliance Defending Freedom's Center for Life, joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to break down the oral arguments heard by the nine justices and predict what the future holds for Roe v.
