FIRST LOOK: Mike Pence Announces Filing of Amicus Brief Asking Supreme Court to Overturn Roe v. Wade

Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet

Last week, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch filed an amicus brief for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. In addition to communicating support for the state's 15-week abortion law being heard before the U.S. Supreme Court, the brief asks that the Court overturn the landmark decisions of Roe v. Wade from 1973 and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, from 1992. 

While many more amicus briefs have come in since then, perhaps none have come from a more high profile figure than former Vice President Mike Pence, who announced that his organization, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), and others, were filing one on Friday.

Townhall was given a first look at the brief as well as a press release announcing the brief. 

"Forty-eight years ago, our Supreme Court turned away from the timeless ideal that we are 'endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights that include, first among them, life," said former Vice President and AAF Chairman Mike Pence in a statement. "By calling for Roe and Casey to be overturned, Advancing American Freedom and its partners seek to protect the right to life and to restore respect for the sanctity of life. Life is winning in America, and we must not rest until we restore a culture of life in America."

Conservative reaction pours in after Dem mayors, governors impose new mask mandates: 'Kiss my mask'

The CDC said this week that even vaccinated individuals in areas deemed as high-risk should return to wearing masks indoors

Democratic leaders around the country are facing criticism and blowback after they rushed to reimpose unpopular mask mandates following updated coronavirus guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC said this week that even vaccinated individuals in areas deemed as high-risk should return to wearing masks indoors – prompting the new wave in face-covering requirements.

But the mandates are unpopular for numerous reasons. Some say the masks irritate them or hinder their breathing. People who wear glasses have to deal with fogged-up lenses that make it nearly impossible to see when they enter a building. And many critics have argued that requiring face coverings is government overreach.

The pushback has been especially pronounced among House Republicans, who have criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rush to embrace mandates once again.
