Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization

Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization is a significant U.S. Supreme Court case decided in 2022 that addressed abortion rights. The case involved a Mississippi law that banned most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, challenging the precedents set by Roe v. Wade, which had established a woman's right to choose abortion. The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution does not provide a right to abortion, thereby overturning Roe v. Wade. This decision returned the power to regulate abortion to individual states, leading to varied laws across the country and significant political and social implications.
