BREAKING: Half a century of guaranteed abortion rights in the US has come to an end as the Supreme Court voted to overturn the landmark Roe v Wade decision.
Half a century of guaranteed abortion rights in the US has come to an end Friday, as the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v Wade decision.
That draft opinion revealed that five of the court’s conservative justices intended to strike down the ruling that ensured abortion during the first trimester of a pregnancy was a constitutional right for Americans. With the high court preparing to break for recess, a decision has been expected but didn’t come on Tuesday or Thursday, when nine other opinions were released. The court added an additional day to its schedule to release opinions on Friday.
The President is said to be considering several measures in response, including eliminating barriers to accessing medication abortion and challenging state laws that criminalize people who travel to a different state to receive an abortion.
