Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i> is dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Supreme Court on<\/span> Friday ruled that states can restrict or outright ban abortion at any point during a pregnancy, overturning the 1973 decision that enshrined abortion protections in federal law, along with a subsequent decision that affirmed those protections in 1991. “Roe<\/em> and [Planned Parenthood v.<\/em>] Casey<\/em> must be overruled,” Justice Samuel Alito, wrote in a draft opinion leaked last month, declared. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” <\/span><\/p>\n

The ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,<\/i> a case that concerned the constitutionality of a 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi, represents<\/span> a <\/span>massive victory for conservatives who have sought for decades to reverse the court’s 1973 decision — and a cataclysmic event for anyone who believes in bodily autonomy<\/span>. Public polling indicates the latter outnumber the former, nearly 2 to 1.<\/span><\/p>\n
