The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade in a historic win for the unborn, officially ending the constitutional protection to an abortion across the United States.
The ruling comes from the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which came about when Mississippi banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
A lower court struck down the state's ban, and Mississippi proceeded to challenge the decision to the Supreme Court, which resulted in the nation's highest court hearing arguments in December 2021.
After many weeks of waiting after the leaked draft opinion, the ruling has finally been publicized.
Each state will now have the authority to make abortion rights decisions without intervention from the Supreme Court. The ruling overturns the almost 50-year precedent, when the all-male court ruled to protect abortion rights in the Roe v. Wade case.
The decision has already sparked protests across the county from pro-choice activists, which will likely continue in the days ahead.
Convention of States seeks to restore rights and powers to the states and the people, just like today's Supreme Court decision.
Through an Article V Convention of States, amendments can be proposed to the Constitution that limit the size of the federal government, implement term limits and add budget requirements.

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.
What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.
I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.
I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here:

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.
Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.
Respectfully, [Your Name]
