Change in Monthly Abortions Since Roe v. Wade Overturned
Apr 27, 2023
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is a recent landmark case that could potentially have a significant impact on abortion laws in the United States. The case centers around a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions only for medical emergencies or fetal abnormalities.
The overturning of Roe didn’t make abortion illegal nationwide. Abortion remains legal in most U.S. states, but those with trigger laws to restrict abortion with Roe and Casey overturned instantly did so.
