Roe v Wade, way back in 1973, guaranteed abortion as a constitutional right. Now, shockingly, this right is at stake in the US.

Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organisation addresses the Mississippi law that bans most abortions after just 15 weeks of pregnancy - a violation of Roe v Wade. Several other states have enacted similar laws in order to challenge Roe, such as Texas which ban most abortions after a mere 6 weeks (often before a woman even finds out she is pregnant).

Mississippi lawyers call for the Supreme Court to use their case to overturn Roe v Wade.

Thanks to Trump, conservatives hold a significant 6-3 majority of justices. It is therefore assumed that the Mississippi law will pass, but what about the bigger question mark over Roe v Wade?

The Conversation suggest that if abortion rights are returned to state power, abortion will become “a geographical lottery”. It is predicted that 22 states would move to ban or severely restrict abortion access.
