A response brief focused on two questions asked in opposition to the petition was filed by Hillary Schneller from the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Jackson Women's Health Organization.[40] JWHO asked the Court to deny Mississippi's petition due to judicial precedent.[41] The brief noted that both the District Court and the Fifth Circuit found the Mississippi law unconstitutional by properly applying precedent in a manner that did not conflict with other courts' decisions[42] and argued that there was therefore nothing about the case that "warrants this Court's intervention".[43] The brief also argued that Mississippi was misinterpreting its role in abortion regulation.[44] While the State thought that its interest was greater than the individual right to abortion, JWHO argued that Mississippi's vested interest in regulating abortion was insufficient to ban it before viability,[45] making the Gestational Age Act "unconstitutional by any measure".[46]
