Just one week from now, the Supreme Court will review a Mississippi law that limits elective abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy, setting the stage for possibly reversing Roe v. Wade and the devastating national policy of abortion on demand.

I was a college junior when Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973 by an imperious Supreme Court, and I’ve been involved in the pro-life movement, both personally and professionally, ever since. Having achieved what some refer to as “senior statesman” status (I’m fine with “statesman,” not so wild about “senior”), I am asked with increasing frequency for my thoughts and analysis in advance of next week’s oral arguments.
