What Is The Roe V. Wade Decision?
In a historic decision known as Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a pregnant woman’s right to an abortion is usually protected by the U.S. Constitution.
Roe V. Wade Overturned
Weeks after a never-before-seen leaked memo implied that the court preferred to overturn the famous Roe v. Wade ruling, it did so.
The decision will change how Americans see abortion rights because now every state can outlaw the practice.
The majority of US states are likely to enact new limitations or restrictions.
How Many States Abortion Laws?
Following the Supreme Court’s decision, thirteen states have already approved trigger laws that instantly criminalize abortion. New limits will probably be enacted soon by a lot of others.
