Abortion is a relatively common procedure in the United States. According to the Guttmacher Institute, there were about 862,000 abortions in the U.S. in 2017. This is a 19% decline from 2011 when 1,058,000 were performed. Analyses have shown that abortion restriction, while harmful at an individual level, were not the main reason for the decline in abortions between 2011 and 2017. The decline in abortions seems to be part of a broader decline in pregnancies, evident in fewer births during the same period. The states with the highest abortion rates are the District of Columbia, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida.

Here is the jist of the Mississippi case;
In March 2018, the state of Mississippi passed the Gestational Age Act, which banned any abortion operation after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for a medical emergency or severe fetal abnormality but none for cases of rape or incest.[16] The medical emergency exception allows abortions done to save the life of a pregnant woman and in situations where "the continuation of the pregnancy will create a serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function".[17][18] The severe fetal abnormality exception allows abortions of fetuses whose defects will leave them incapable of living outside the womb.[18][19]
The legislature justified this prohibition on the basis that intentionally crushing and tearing apart fetuses for nontherapeutic or elective reasons was "a barbaric practice, dangerous for the maternal patient, and demeaning to the medical profession."[18][20] Another basis was that the abortion procedures forbidden under the Act were said by the legislature to carry "significant physical and psychological risks",[18][21] and could cause various medical complications.[18][22]
Governor Phil Bryant signed the bill into law, saying he was "committed to making Mississippi the safest place in America for an unborn child, and this bill will help us achieve that goal".[16] He added: "We'll probably be sued here in about a half hour, and that'll be fine with me. It is worth fighting over."[16]
