Where Roe v. Wade stands after Texas abortion ban allowed to go into effect

Some experts say Roe v. Wade is already "dead" in Texas and soon will be in the rest of America with an abortion case on the Supreme Court's docket.

The Supreme Court allowing an unprecedented pre-viability abortion ban to go into effect in Texas has prompted questions on the status of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that's supposed to protect the right to abortion nationally. To some experts, this marks the end of the line for the right to abortion to be federally protected, especially with an upcoming case soon to be heard by the court that directly challenges Roe. "Roe v. Wade is dead in Texas, the second-most-populous state," Elizabeth Sepper, a University of Texas at Austin School of Law professor, told ABC News, "and I think it's really hanging by a thread for much of the rest of the nation."
