legislatures have stepped in to curb gun use however if this case gets decided in favor of the new york state rifle and pistol association then for the first time even the most elementary gun control restrictions at the state level could be ruled as unconstitutional perhaps the most controversial issue that the court's going to decide on though is going to be on the ongoing debate over a woman's right to choose the court will be deciding on the case of dobbs versus jackson's women's health association this case originally started with a law passed by the state of mississippi in NUMBER_TOKEN the gestational age act a law which banned most abortions after NUMBER_TOKEN weeks of pregnancy as the only abortion provider in the state of mississippi jackson women's health organization took issue with this law and petitioned lower courts to block the state from enforcing the act the petition was granted and upheld by the fifth circuit court of appeals on the basis that mississippi never proved that a thesis at NUMBER_TOKEN weeks was viable the viability standard as it is known was introduced in the supreme court case planned parenthood vs casey in NUMBER_TOKEN this follow-up to the famed roe v wade case which stated that a woman had the right to abort pre-viability with undue interference from the state added that the state may only restrict abortions post-viability the dobbs case under consideration thus pertains to the straightforward question over the legality of the viability standard if the court decides to overturn the fifth circuit's ruling then it's likely that the doctrine established in the casey case will be thrown out in favor of a new tighter definition of when the state can interfere with abortion access and with recent pro-life appointments to the court in justice barrett kavanaugh and gorsuch by president trump it seems likely that some changes the abortion precedent are on the table but to what degree the changes will be is still an open question and won't be settled until the final ruling is handed down cia torture programme documents potentially up for release gun control being curbed to its largest degree in decades and ground shaking changes to abortion precedent are all up for consideration during this supreme court term and to keep updated on all of the political and legal consequences in videos like this one then be sure to subscribe to tldr us also if you want to see your name at the end of videos just like these people then be sure to back us on patreon the link to that is in the description
