United States Extensive abortion rights were overturned, but what happens next? HS is going through what is changing in the United States

The United States Supreme Court ruled on Friday to overturn extensive abortion law after directing the country’s abortion policy since 1973 Roe v Wade went bankrupt along with another precedent.

The decision means that in future each state will be able to decide on its own legislation on abortion.

At least 13 states have already passed so-called trigger laws that could ban abortions almost completely.

These states include Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

In addition to the aforementioned states, legislation enabling a fast-moving ban has been filed in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, and West Virginia.

Guttmacher estimates a ban on abortion in Florida, Indiana, Montana and Nebraska as likely.

Restrictions will be introduced gradually

The states differ in the basis and timing of the restrictions.

In the “trigger law states,” additional measures to enforce the ban is not needed In Kentucky, Louisiana or South Dakota. Already on Friday night, Louisiana authorities announced the ban would take effect immediately.

In Tennessee, Idaho and Texas, the situation is otherwise the same, but putting the decision into practice requires a 30-day notice period.

Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming will introduce the ban after a formal confirmation process.

Other states have either Roe v Wade previous laws or other prohibitions on abortion, some of which have been pending before the courts.
