Will SCOTUS strike down 15 week abortion ban? (Dobbs)

Will SCOTUS strike down 15 week abortion ban? (Dobbs)

Description

In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (No. 19-1392), the Supreme Court will consider the constitutionality of a Mississippi statute that bans, subject to very limited exception, abortion of fetus with a gestational age of greater than 15 weeks.

Under existing precedent (Roe v. Wade & Casey v. Planned Parenthood), a law that prohibits abortion before fetal viability (which is after 15 weeks) is unconstitutional. A federal district court and the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit invalidated Mississippi's law and entered an injunction prohibiting its enforcement. Now the case is before the Supreme Court.

Decision Logic

This wager will resolve to NO if the Supreme Court issues a decision that has the effect of overturning the lower court decisions and injunction that prohibits Mississippi from enforcing its 15 week abortion ban statute.

In short, if the Court issues a decision or order that allows Mississippi to enforce the law as written -- if it will be illegal to perform an abortion on a fetus with a gestational age of 15 weeks, except in cases of fetal abnormality and medical emergency -- then the wager will resolve NO.

If the Court affirms the lower courts OR takes any other action which leaves intact the injunction/prohibits Mississippi from enforcing the current ban prior to the end date, then this wager will resolve YES.

Welp, the United States was nice while it lasted. See y'all in Civil War 2.0

Cue the riots, arsons, vandalism, and probably murders. . . .

By "No wins" I mean that the "No" side is the side that won. :-) As was expected since the leaked draft of the Alito opinion in early May.

No wins, Alito's opinion was issued. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf

It is in our view that this can be settled as No. The way the logic is written (and the intent), we are looking for a specific outcome (Yes/No based on an action taken by the SCOTUS). No action/delay in proceedings is not considered an outcome for the purpose of this bet. Although the final vote has not occurred, we have enough evidence (as per leaked draft) to assume what it will be. As per a users' request, we can leave this prop open until the final vote in case of any changes or surprises.

Just to note, the Supreme Court has now confirmed that the leak is genuine. It looks like this was tweeted about two hours ago: https://twitter.com/SCOTUSblog/status/1521509850181742592

Considering the leaked opinion, should this bet be considered resolved, and if so, should the last bet be cancelled? The leak happened some time on May 2; this SCOTUSblog article about it was published at 10:17pm on May 2nd, hours after the leak. https://www.scotusblog.com/2022/05/court-has-voted-to-overturn-roe-according-to-draft-opinion-published-by-politico/

To confirm ---- no matter if the ban is lifted or not - if SCOTUS doesn't take the case then it resolves as a "YES"?
