The Supreme Court has overturned the controversial Roe V. Wade decision that paved the way for legalized abortions across the country.
The court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization upheld a law from Mississippi that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, roughly two months earlier than what has been allowed under Supreme Court precedent dating back to Roe.
The decision was leaked in May, but is official on the Court website as of June 24, 2022, an extension of the regular session.
