Abortion will be illegal in these states if Roe v. Wade is overturned
States across the country are preparing for a possible day when Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Roe, the 1973 Supreme Court decision, specifies that a woman has a right to an abortion, and states are not allowed to interfere with that right. But abortion activists both for and against say the high court will be forced to rule on it in upcoming sessions.
Five states have already outlawed abortions with "trigger laws," legislation that isn't active unless Roe v. Wade is no longer in effect. "Trigger laws" are a way to ensure that abortion will be automatically illegal in the event that states are allowed to regulate the procedure.
Another eight states have introduced bills this legislative session that, if passed, would also outlaw abortion. Though three of those aren't technically "trigger laws, all will be inactive unless Roe becomes ineffective, either through a full repeal or a handful of small anti-abortion-rights decisions.
