Abstract
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization represents a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal battle over abortion rights in the United States. At the heart of this case is Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act, which bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Challenged by the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the sole abortion clinic in Mississippi, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has captured national attention as it directly questions the constitutionality of existing abortion precedents, particularly Roe v. Wade. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal, political, and social implications of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, tracing its origins, examining the arguments presented by both sides and exploring potential outcomes and ramifications.
