Summary
Wade and hand abortion authority over to the states, reversing the commonwealth’s legal position in a landmark challenge now pending before the court.Under the state’s previously Democratic-led administration, Virginia joined 21 other states in urging the justices to invalidate Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban and reaffirm the core holding of the court’s 1973 decision in Roe.But in his first week on the job after defeating the state’s Democratic incumbent in a November election, Virginia’s new attorney general, Jason Miyares (R), announced a dramatic shift in course.“The [new] Attorney General has reconsidered Virginia’s position in this case,” Miyares told the justices in a letter Friday.
