For nearly 50 years, pro-life advocates have waited for their perfect storm: the right case that poses the right question to a right-leaning Supreme Court, a confluence activists hope could mean the overturning of Roe v. Wade — and the time could be now.

The high court will soon take up Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case centered around a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks, which directly challenges parts of the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that found access to abortion was a constitutional right.
