In a landmark decision, the US Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion. The 6-3 ruling, along ideological lines, gives states the power to restrict or ban abortion.
The decision is expected to have a significant impact on abortion access in the United States. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 26 states are likely to ban or severely restrict abortion in the wake of the ruling.
The ruling has sparked widespread protests and demonstrations across the country. Supporters of abortion rights argue that the decision undermines women's bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. Opponents of abortion celebrate the ruling as a victory for the unborn and argue that it returns the issue of abortion to the states, where it belongs.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade is a major setback for abortion rights in the United States. It is likely to have a profound impact on women's health, reproductive rights, and the overall social and political landscape of the country.
