The ruling came in the court's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which focused on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Republican-led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that blocked the 15-week abortion ban from taking place.

But if this doesn't change it, I don't think there's much that's gonna change it."

Star Parker, founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE):
"Huge implications in that most Americans are concerned about direction country has been going, and federal court takeover of state issues is big part of this discussion on abortion. Every political candidate will be asked about their specific positions on abortion and the left is side with back against the wall because they have been extreme regarding not just gestation stage but their insistence to push abortion on poor people of color, especially blacks."
