The decision guaranteeing the right to abortion nationwide has been overturned. Now each state will establish its own policies in this matter. Missouri has already banned abortion.
The U.S. Supreme Court revoked the right to abortion on Friday, June 24, reversing the landmark in the 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade guaranteed abortion rights in all states. Now states will be able to independently regulate this area, according to AFP.
Roe v. Wade in 1973 believed that women had the right to an abortion based on the constitutional right to privacy in their own bodies.
The decision is likely to enact a series of new laws in approximately half of the 50 U.S. states that will restrict or explicitly ban and criminalize abortion.
The decision is a victory for the 50-year struggle against religious rights abortion, but the anti-abortion camp is expected to continue for a full nationwide ban.
The case before the court involves a Mississippi law that limits abortion to 15 weeks, but during the hearing in December, several judges said they were willing to go ahead.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, 13 states have passed so -called “trigger laws” that would ban abortion following the Supreme Court decision.
Ten other states had laws before 1973 that could take effect, or laws prohibiting abortion six weeks before many women even knew they were pregnant.
It was also found that the state of Missouri, following the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, was the first state to ban abortion.
Recall that in early May, a wave of protests against plans to ban abortion took place in the United States.
