Supreme Court Countdown - 7 Days to Historic Case
The ACLJ is preparing to fight for life in two of the biggest abortion cases in decades at the Supreme Court. Just a week from today, November 1st, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on the merits of the case out of Texas that bans abortion after the six-week mark, or when the heartbeat is detected. Then just a month later on December 1st, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case will be heard, which is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade. This is a very crucial time in history for the fate of countless unborn babies.
ACLJ Senior Counsel CeCe Heil explained how the ACLJ is directly engaged in both of these cases:
"It’s an interesting time for the abortion question in our country. . . . We have an oral argument in . . . both of those cases. The one that came from the DOJ and then the one that came from abortion providers will be heard next Monday. Then the Dobbs case will be heard December 1st. So we are engaged in both of those cases. . . . With the Texas case, we are filing an amicus brief, supporting Texas, stating that federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and pointing out that these cases are not properly before the Supreme Court to decide at this time."
We’ve already filed three Supreme Court briefs in the Dobbs case. And we are preparing to file an amicus brief in the Texas case. ACLJ Director of Policy Harry Hutchison pointed out how the Supreme Court Justices have two chances to finally correct Roe v Wade:
"So, over the next several weeks, we will see or should see very important developments at the United States Supreme Court. On one level the issue will be jurisdictional. Do the plaintiffs, the abortion providers, have standing for instance to challenge the Texas law? With the Dobbs case . . . the key question is the core question, which is a merits decision on the viability of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. I think if the Supreme Court has the courage and has the spine, they will overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. . . . The Supreme Court clearly went too far in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, and they went too far in Roe v. Wade, and if they reverse both cases, the abortion issue would go back to the states and then the states could decide. That is where these issues should in fact be decided. So, hopefully the Supreme Court is prepared to stiffen its spine and do the right thing."
