The Supreme Court today Friday overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which established the constitutional right to abortion in the United States in 1973.
The court's controversial but expected decision now gives the states in the US the power to enact their own abortion laws without fear of being found unconstitutional, based on the Roe decision that for nearly half a century allowed abortions in the first two trimesters of pregnancy.
Nearly half the states are expected to outlaw or severely restrict abortion, following the Supreme Court's decision. Other states plan to maintain more liberal rules governing the termination of pregnancy.
