roe v wade

Cheers erupted outside the legislative chamber in Nebraska on Thursday as the last vote was counted.

The Supreme Court's June ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and left the question of abortion rights up to the states has produced ballot questions in a handful of states this fall.

The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, prompting the “trigger ban” bill signed into law earlier this year to ban abortion in Wyoming in five days. The law bans abortions except in cases of rape or incest or to protect the mother’s life or health, not including psychological conditions.

The statement goes on to predict ''further assaults on women’s rights, our LGBTQ community, and those without access to healthcare."

Wyoming , Idaho, South Dakota and Utah have effectively banned abortion

Abortion is still legal in most of the country

South Dakota’s Republican governor is pledging to bar mail-order abortion pills but says women shouldn't face prosecution for seeking them.

"The states should decide how to approach abortion. I'm grateful for this pro-life decision from the Court today," Senator Cynthia Lummis wrote.

President Joe Biden is blasting what he calls a “radical” leaked draft opinion suggesting the Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide.

A draft opinion circulated among Supreme Court justices suggests that earlier this year a majority of them had thrown support behind overturning the 1973 case Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion nationwide.
