If you are like me, you are deeply saddened by the Supreme Court's Decision to overturn Roe Vs Wade on Friday, June 24th. Roe Vs Wade was a Supreme Court decision that ruled to protect pregnant women's rights to have an abortion without government restrictions. The landmark decision was decided in 1973 and after forty-nine years, has sadly come to an end. In 2022, women have almost completely lost the rights to their bodies.
Since the overturn, there have been some states that are expected to go into effect with the abortion trigger laws.
Immediately
Arkansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Missouri
Oklahoma
South Dakota
Utah
Within Weeks
Idaho
Mississippi
North Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Wyoming
