Judge dismisses lawsuit over old abortion rights ruling in Mississippi
SUMMARY: A Mississippi judge dismissed a lawsuit from the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists challenging a 2022 law banning most abortions, citing it conflicts with a 1998 state Supreme Court ruling that protects abortion rights under the state constitution. Hinds County Chancery Judge Crystal Wise Martin stated the association lacked legal standing as there was no evidence the medical board threatened disciplinary action against its members for not referring patients for abortions. The plaintiffs plan to appeal the ruling to the Mississippi Supreme Court. The case has broader implications following the U.S. Supreme Court‘s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
