The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. What does this mean for abortion rights?
The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
While the Court did not explicitly overturn Roe, it upheld a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks. This effectively overturned Roe, since most abortions are performed after 15 weeks.
This decision is a major victory for anti-abortion activists, who have been working for decades to overturn Roe.
It is also a major setback for abortion rights advocates, who say that the decision will have a devastating impact on women's access to abortion.
The decision is likely to lead to a number of states banning or severely restricting abortion.
Thirteen states have so-called "trigger laws" that will automatically ban abortion if Roe is overturned, and many other states are likely to pass new restrictions.
The decision is also likely to have a significant impact on the upcoming midterm elections.
Abortion is a major issue for many voters, and the decision is likely to motivate both anti-abortion and abortion rights voters to turn out in November.
The decision is a major turning point in the history of abortion rights in the United States.
It is likely to have a significant impact on the lives of women and families for years to come.
