Taking Over the Supreme Court

As you've read, the Supreme Court is going to hear the case of Whole Woman's Health v. Cole. As experts in the moral and legal issues surrounding the issue of abortion that is at the heart of the case, you've been asked to submit a brief to the Court, advising them as to how they should rule.  In their ruling, the Court will be answering the following question:
Whether, when applying the “undue burden” standard of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a court errs by refusing to consider whether and to what extent laws that restrict abortion for the stated purpose of promoting health actually serve the government’s interest in promoting health. 

You should use information from your study of the issue (Unborn in the USA, The Last Abortion Clinic, Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood v. Casey The Chicago Tribune Editorials, research for mini-debates) in order to answer the question.   A minimum of three sources is required and they should be properly footnoted using Chicago Style.

In addition to answering the question presented, your argument must include an assessment of abortion law overall and determine whether the Court should reconsider the rulings in Casey or Roe, either maintaining the current standard, changing the standard, or eliminating the right to privacy overall.

Thus your argument should include an introductory paragraph that sets the context of the case, introduces your assessment of the current state of the law and ends with a thesis which is your answer to the question above (make sure it includes a why or because).
Your body paragraphs should all begin with topic sentences that make an assertion connected to your argument.
A conclusion that summarizes your argument and tells the Court what the consequences of following (or not following) your advise may be.

Papers should be 2-3 pages, single spaced, use Times New Roman 12 pt font, and be free of errors (remember, the Supreme Court is reading this)!
Papers are due to be submitted to turnitin by class time on Tuesday, 11/24.
