Roe v. Wade has been struck down. Here's what you need to know about the now-overturned case.

The 5-4 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, with the opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, is"very similar to that draft opinion that we saw leak"in May, according to CNN's Jessica Schneider.

"This will have immediate effects here. By all estimates, about half of the states are expected to eliminate the right to abortion. We've got about a half-dozen states that have so-called 'trigger laws' that their abortion bans will go into effect immediately or within the next 30 days or next few months," she said.

"And then we have about a dozen states with so-called 'zombie laws' — those are actually abortion laws that were on the books before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that will go back into effect. On the flip side, there are about 16 states and Washington, DC that have sort of amped-up their abortion protections.

🤦🏻‍♂️😔

The Supreme Court is a joke🤣🤣Trump is laughing 🤣

vaccines- left - 'you need to get the vaccine' right - 'my body my choice' abortion - left - 'my body my choice' right - 'your not allowed to get an abortion'

Next on the Agenda bringing back Slavery and abolition any law pertaining to human rights that doesn't serve the rich white man. Land of the free indeed.

Wonderful news! This is a long time coming and I’m overjoyed! Now let’s support women’s health clinics that give actual choices to pregnant women that don’t involve killing their babies.

Now people we resort to illegal means of terminating unwanted pregnancies. But why on earth should there be right to same sex marriage and automatic firearms ownership? Thought shits only happen in Africa🤦‍♂️WTF

AWESOME! Rip your healthy fetus apart in another state.

I wonder if this ruling has any effect on state laws. Like medical cannabis usage, federally it is banned but state law may allow its usage.

Such a shame. The leaders of the free world deny half their population the right to decide about their own bodies. Incredible.

U.S. Supreme Court loses our confidence and trust. We the people do not want politicians in robes! A supreme betrayal.

I was a little concerned about the conservative majority SCOTUS, but I will admit I was way off. They are doing a great job just going off of the constitution. ✊🏿 I’m a fan.

I had some liberal legit spit in my mouth in 2020 after she asked my opinion about abortion and I told her I was pro life, who’s laughing now 💀

No right to Abortion but right to same sex , America God's own country.

How can society function when the Supreme Court can reverse itself? Dues that make the first judgement (ruling) wrong and subject to an immediate or future appeal in the same court?
