ABOUT THE CASE
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization revolves around the grave matter of abortion. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take up Dobbs, which addresses the constitutionality of a 15-week abortion ban passed into law in Mississippi. Chad Mizelle, a local lawyer and parishioner of Christ the King Catholic Church in Tampa, says one of the outcomes could be the overturning of Roe v. Wade, .
“This is one of the best opportunities that we have had to overturn the Roe versus Wade decision from 1973 that has resulted in the death of so many innocent children in the womb,” said Bishop Parkes from the Diocese of St. Petersburg.
“Dobbs is fundamentally about whether the Constitution enshrines a right to abortion for all women. If the U.S. Supreme Court says that it does not, what that essentially means is that states and local communities are free to regulate the issue of abortion. So, states are going to make the policies, states are going to decide the issue,” said Mizelle.
Dobbs could give people the right to decide what the abortion rules are going to be in their state.
“It takes it from the Supreme Court and hands this very, very important issue to the people,” said Mizelle.
Dobbs is important on both a legal and a faith-based perspective. Abortion is one of the grave moral evils that is occurring in our society and Mizelle says we have an obligation to courageously live our faith and do everything we can, to correct that by creating and living a prolife culture.
