 By Dave Andrusko The Biden-Harris administration made its opposition official today. In a 39 page amicus the justice department rejected the position of the state of Mississippi that the Supreme Court uphold the state’s 2018  “Gestational Age Act.” “Under principle of stare decisis–and because Roe and Casey were and remain correct–the court should again “reaffirm …
