(Washington, D.C. – C-Fam<\/a>)\u00a0The Supreme Court ignored claims from human rights experts and academics that abortion is an international human right during oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization <\/i>case.<\/p>\n

The justices of the Supreme Court did not raise any questions about international human rights law during oral arguments in the Dobbs <\/i>case even though UN human rights experts petitioned the court to overturn Mississippi\u2019s ban on abortions carried out after the 15th week of pregnancy, the moment when children in the womb can feel pain.<\/p>\n

The snub leaves open the question of how, if at all, the justices view international human rights law.

On the contrary, a brief exchange between Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and Julie Rikelman, the attorney of the Center for Reproductive Rights representing the Mississippi abortion group, gave a glimpse of what the justices may discuss between themselves in coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n

In what may prove to be a revealing moment, Chief Justice Roberts said Mississippi\u2019s 15-week abortion ban was not \u201cdramatic\u201d since it reflected \u201cthe standard that the vast majority of other countries have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Roberts notoriously disappointed pro-lifers in the Whole Woman\u2019s Health v. Hellertedt <\/i>case in 2016. He sided with liberal justices in striking down abortion restrictions because they imposed an \u201cundue burden\u201d on women\u2019s ability to access abortion in Texas. In the Dobbs <\/i>case pro-lifers hope that he will switch sides, and he certainly gave them some hopes that a switch may be in the works….<\/p>\n
