Abortion will remain legal in about half of the states in the U.S., but the rest will probably ban it. Todays Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade will leave the legal status of abortion entirely up to the states. Now that the law has changed, reproductive rights will be rewritten almost immediately.
Individual states will decide whether and when abortions will be legal. Many states will continue to allow them, and some have even begun making provisions to help serve women who live in states that are likely to restrict abortion.
Without Roe, abortion will probably decline more because women will have to travel farther to reach a state where it’s legal or maybe have to order pills online from outside the country.
