The U.S. Supreme Court on June 24 overturned the decision giving women the constitutional right to have an abortion. We are talking about the decision in the case of Roe v. Wade in 1973. This could lead to a virtual ban on abortion in conservative states in the South and Midwest of the United States.
It is reported by the Washington Post.
What is known?
The court decision states that the Constitution does not give the right to abortion. The right to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.
Opponents point out that this could lead to an increase in clandestine abortions. As a result – an increase in mortality among women, the abandonment of newborns and an increase in infanticide.
Now awaiting the adoption of amendments to legislation in 50 states. Therefore, the changes will affect about 36 million women of reproductive age.
“13 states will ban abortion within 30 days due to previous ‘trigger laws’. They take effect as soon as Roe v. Wade is overturned. These laws make an exception for cases where the mother’s life is in danger, but most do not include the exclusion of rape or incest,” the publication noted.
CNBC wrote that minutes after the decision, the Missouri Attorney General signed into law a ban on abortion.
What is Joe Biden saying?
US President Joe Biden criticized the decision of the Supreme Court, repealing the constitutional right to abortion. He urged Congress to enshrine this right at the federal level.
Biden believes the decision in Roe v. Wade was correct and called the Supreme Court’s decision a “tragic mistake” that should not be final.
According to him, this decision turned the scales of justice and deprived women of fundamental rights in the United States.
Roe v. Wade
Rowe vs. Wade – A landmark 1973 decision by the US Supreme Court stating that the US Constitution protects a pregnant woman’s freedom to have an abortion without excessive government restrictions.
We previously reported that the US Supreme Court intends to overturn the right to abortion, which has been in effect for more than 50 years. Milla Jovovich, who has three children, reacted sharply to this decision. She stated that abortion is not a crime. Her eldest heiress Ever Anderson also decided to support the actress. She, along with her friends and mother, took part in a protest near the Supreme Court.
