On September 13, Jackson Women’s Health Organization (JWHO) filed its brief with the Supreme Court in support of its challenge to Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization . But the stakes are much higher than whether JWHO, Mississippi’s sole abortion provider, will be allowed to continue doing abortions up to 16 weeks, its current cut-off. Mississippi has argued that the Court should overrule Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), the Supreme Court cases that discovered and perpetuated a constitutional right to abortion at any stage of pregnancy.
JWHO’s first argument was to suggest that the Court should not even hear the case, claiming that Mississippi had not included the question of overturning Roe and Casey in its petition to the Court. But whether Roe and Casey should be overturned was implicit in the first question presented by Mississippi: “Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortion are unconstitutional.” Mississippi’s petition to the Court contained other questions, including one more narrowly addressing whether its 15-week-ban could be upheld under Casey . The Supreme Court, in granting Mississippi’s petition, specifically limited its review to the first question, putting the validity of Roe and Casey squarely at issue.
JWHO claims abortion is part of “liberty” and “physical autonomy” — but abortion is different
JWHO then laid out its theory as to why Roe and Casey are “well-grounded in the Constitution and in the Court’s broader jurisprudence.” Quoting Casey , JWHO argues that the right to abortion is grounded in the Fourteenth Amendment’s protection of “liberty,” including “the right to make family decisions and the right to physical autonomy.” Broad, indeed. Such general concepts cover a wide swath of human conduct that is routinely regulated by the state.
In support of the “physical autonomy” interest, JWHO cites several cases dealing with state-mandated intrusions on the body, including medical procedures and forcible administration of drugs. But these cases involved, […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
