The Supreme Court Appears To Be Leaning Toward Upholding A Mississippi Abortion Legislation That Would Overturn Roe V. Wade.

Angel

  The Supreme Court hinted on Wednesday that it is on the verge of significantly curtailing abortion rights in the United States, and that it is likely to maintain a Mississippi law that violates one of the key principles of the Roe v. Wade decision, which was handed down over 50 years ago. It was uncertain if the court would finally overturn Roe, which held that women have a fundamental right to terminate their pregnancies. Mississippi's statute forbidding most abortions after 15 weeks, according to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., is not a "dramatic departure" from viability, and gives women adequate time to decide whether or not to terminate their pregnancies. However, none of the court's six conservative members expressed support for upholding the court's ruling that states cannot prohibit abortion before fetal viability, which is commonly believed to be between 22 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. "Why would 15 weeks be an improper line?" he continued. O...

Father-of-eleven Paul Wynn, 57, from North Ayrshire, Scotland, collapsed at Saltcoats town hall last Friday just minutes before he was due to be wed to Alison Wynn, his partner of 21 years. Mr Wynn was originally diagnosed with cancer in May but had only been informed it had turned terminal eight days before - prompting him and his partner Alison, 36, to tie the knot before he died. He was given between six weeks and two months left to live via doctors, who told him his pancreatic cancer had spread to his liver and lungs. However, he collapsed just as Alison – who changed her surname by deed poll a few years ago – walked toward him during their wedding ceremony with first-aiders unable to revive him. Alison described him as a 'fantastic dad' in a heartfelt tribute following his unexpected death. She additionally revealed that her partner hadn't receive...
