Miyares plans to remove the state from the hot debate and believes the court system should leave the decision up to individual states. In the words of Virginia's new Republican Attorney General Jason S. Miyares, the historic Roe v. Wade decision should be overturned and Mississippi’s abortion ban after 15 weeks of pregnancy should not be considered unconstitutional. Virginia plans to remove itself from the hot debate and believes the court system should leave the decision up to individual states. The activity in state legislatures was anticipated after the U.S. Supreme Court signaled it was ready to make seismic changes to the nationwide right to abortion established in the Roe v. Wade decision. If the court overturns Roe v. Wade entirely, the decision on whether to keep abortion legal would fall to the states.
