On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed the constitutional right to abortion. The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization leaves the legality of abortion up to individual states. As of July 7, 2023, abortion is banned or severely restricted in 26 states.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade is a major victory for anti-abortion activists who have been working to overturn the decision for decades. The decision is also a major setback for abortion rights advocates who fear that it will lead to the loss of access to abortion for millions of women across the country.

The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization is based on the idea that the right to abortion is not protected by the Constitution. The majority opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, argues that the right to abortion is not "deeply rooted in the nation's history and tradition" and that it is not "implicit in the concept of ordered liberty."

The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization is likely to have a significant impact on the lives of women across the United States. In states where abortion is banned or severely restricted, women will have to travel long distances to obtain an abortion or seek out illegal abortion procedures. The decision is also likely to lead to an increase in unsafe abortions and maternal deaths.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade is a major setback for women's rights in the United States. It is a reminder that the right to abortion is not guaranteed and that it is under constant attack. Women's rights advocates are vowing to continue fighting for abortion rights and to ensure that all women have access to safe and legal abortion care.
