WASHINGTON (LifeSiteNews) — With the U.S. Supreme Court slated to revisit abortion law this week, Democrats such as Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are threatening “revolution” if the justices overturn the Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
Oral arguments will begin Wednesday in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which concerns Mississippi’s HB 1510 law banning abortions from being committed past 15 weeks for any reason other than physical medical emergencies or severe fetal abnormalities. The state is asking that the Court not only uphold the law, which prohibits abortion earlier than is currently permitted by the Court’s “viability” framework, but to take the opportunity to reverse Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which force all fifty states to recognize a “right” too abortion.
“I hope the Supreme Court is listening to the people of the United States because — to go back to Adam Sexton’s question — I think if you want to see a revolution go ahead, outlaw Roe v. Wade and see what the response is of the public, particularly young people,” Shaheen said Monday during a virtual event with WMUR reporter Adam Sexton and Shaheen’s colleagues in New Hampshire’s congressional delegation. “Because I think that will not be acceptable to young women or young men.”
