Shortly after meeting the US Supreme Court ruling that returned the regulation of abortion to the states, Missouri, Wisconsin, Utah, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Alabama have been the first nine states of the 50 that make up the US that they prohibited the interruption of pregnancy last Friday as soon as the decision of the Supreme Court was known of the United States to revoke the case Roe v. Wade who, in 1973, enshrined abortion as a constitutional right in the country and limited the legislative capacity of states, while other states could do so in the short term.
In fact, in anticipation of this ruling, thanks to the draft published by the newspaper Politico with the majority opinion of the Supreme Court, signed by the magistrate Samuel Alito, most states had previously passed laws to ban abortion and they went into effect as soon as the decision was made public. “Abide by the Constitution and return the abortion issue to the representatives elected by the citizens,” the author stated.
On the other hand, Idaho, Tennessee and Texas also automatically approved the abortion ban, although It will not enter into force until after 30 days from the decision of the Supreme. Other states, such as Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, and Michigan, have restrictions in place that could go into effect soon.
It is anticipated that a total of 23 states quickly ban abortionaccording to Planned Parenthood, which has the largest network of reproductive health clinics in the United States, and the Guttmacher Institute.
At the time of publishing this news, only 16 states –California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Washington – as well as the District of Columbia, have adopted laws that strengthen the protection of abortion.
The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, reacted on Twitter as soon as the ruling that overturned the Roe vs. Wade who in 1973 legalized abortion throughout the United States.
Abbott stated that “Texas is a pro-life state” and that she will always fight “to save every child from the devastation of abortion.”
the governor of texas upheld the decision of the Supreme Court as correct that allows each state to legislate about abortion.
The conservative majority of the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of striking down Roe v. Wade considering that abortion is not protected by the US Constitution.
It also knocked down the jurisprudence of the case Planned Parenthood contra Caseyanother 1992 ruling that reaffirmed the right to abortion, although it allowed states to regulate access to it.
