|facts=Mississippi passed the Gestational Age Act, banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Act included exceptions for medical emergencies or severe fetal abnormality, but not for cases of rape or incest.

The clinic sued the state, challenging the constitutionality of the Act.
|procedural_history=The [https://www.mssd.uscourts.gov/content/jackson USDC for the Southern District of Mississippi] enjoined the state from enforcing the Act. The State appealed. The Fifth Circuit affirmed, stating that 15 weeks is earlier than fetus viability, so such a ban is unconstitutional.

The State petitioned the Fifth Circuit decision to the Supreme Court.
|issues=Are all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions unconstitutional?
