Mississippi V... Jackson Women's Health Organization is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade. Explain as specifically as possible the legal path and processes - from beginning to end - through which the Supreme Court of the United States has been put in a position to determine whether or not to uphold the constitutionality of the Mississippi law. The law prohibits an abortion after the 15th week of pregnancy, several weeks before the point at which a fetus is now regarded as "viable" outside the womb. Explain precisely how and why this particular legal issue was triggered and progressed when and where it did.

Would such legislation have been more likely to also have originated in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Virgina? In which of these states would it have been least likely to have originated? Explain.
