The Supreme Court on last week struck down Roe v. Wade, eliminating the right to abortion and handing states authority to drastically limit or ban the procedure.
The 6-3 decision is leaving it to the states to decide how to regulate – or outlaw – abortion. Twenty-two states, including Texas, have trigger laws in place that will outlaw abortion immediately.
The Supreme Court was hearing a case, Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Organization that challenged the state of Mississippi’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks.
