On December 1, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case concerning 15-week abortion ban in the state of Mississippi, potentially paving the way for abortion rights in the U.S. to be severely restricted as the case could result in Roe v. Wade being significantly weakened or overturned.

The American Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, together with – amongst others – the Catholic Medical Association in the USA, has issued a statement, that FIAMC wishes to endorse, praying and hoping that the U.S. Supreme Court comes to a decision that reflects the words of the late Martin Luther King, Jr. that conclude the statement: “[T]here comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic nor popular, but he must take it, because conscience tells him it is right”.
