Supreme Court Upholds Texas Abortion Law
Newsy
According to the Guttmacher Institute, 22 states have introduced early abortion bans. Most are caught up in court or haven't been implemented.
"Most people don't know that they are actually pregnant by six weeks," said president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Alexis McGill Johnson. While abortion rights groups like Planned Parenthood lamented Wednesday's ruling, antiabortion organizations are hopeful, saying it the first step in returning the abortion issue to the states and gives them insight into the court's thinking on another looming case on viability, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's health. That's where Mississippi has implemented a ban on most abortions before the 15-week mark. "This is what we have been fighting for for decades," said Mallory Quigley, vice president of communications at The Susan B. Anthony List. "We're very encouraged by the fact that just the Trump appointed justices Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett all sided in the majority."More Related News
