Court’s move will allow more than half of states to ban abortion, with an immediate and enduring impact on tens of millions of Americans

Across most states, this will happen quickly. Thirteen states have abortion bans “triggered” by a reversal of Roe v Wade, though the laws vary in their enforcement dates. Louisiana, for example, has a trigger law that is supposed to take effectOther states have abortion bans that pre-date the Roe decision, but have been unenforceable in the last five decades. Michigan has a pre-Roe ban that is currently the subject of a court challenge.

In many cases, court challenges under state constitutions are likely, and experts believe there will be chaos for days or weeks as states implement bans.The most effective protection against state abortion bans is a federal law, which would precede the states. Public opinion favors such statute –Such a law would need the majority support of the House of Representatives, a 60-vote majority in the Senate, and a signature from Joe Biden to pass.

No doubt state after state will legislate to allow . . . well, to put it bluntly, killing children at their mother's pleasure. Children's rights - note I have specified 'rights', not 'legal entitlements' - ARE human rights but this ruling will not make all that much difference.

So they just go to a State that hasn't banned abortion - problem fixed

what happens next? it's called taking personal responsibility, you know 'my body my choice' yada yada

US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade, wiping out constitutional right to abortionWomen’s reproductive rights will be severely curtailed in the US after the Supreme Court repealed the landmark Roe v Wade ruling. Fact, Trump nominated 3 judges on this SC. Descending into Christian authoritarianism So there must be more deaths in abortion than people walking around with guns killing innocent kids. Get your priorities right.
