Abortion Laws in the US: All you need to know
This article discusses the aftermath of the overruling of the landmark judgment of Roe v. Wade, which granted American women the constitutional right to abortion as a part of the right to privacy and liberty. The long-standing rule of Roe was further upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Casey Case, thus keeping the states’ abortion-banning laws at bay. With these cases being recently set aside by the Apex Court of the US, access to abortion now vests in the hands of state legislatures. Such a move brings great threat to women in certain states where the laws are either ambiguous or provide women with no relief, as is observed in states where courts have blocked abortion-banning laws on account of the controversies brewing.
