Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court case that protected a person's right to an abortion, was officially overturned on June 24. This decision came nearly two months after a leaked draft majority opinion for the 2022 case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which deals with Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban, was obtained by Politico. The newly released decision says that the Constitution does not protect a person's right to an abortion. Now, each state will have to decide whether abortion is legal within its borders.
The decision sent shockwaves throughout the country and sparked a flood of reproductive rights protests.
