On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the abortion protections of Roe v. Wade in a decision by the conservative majority. Since then, states have had the authority to set their own laws regarding abortion. Now 14 states have enacted bans on most abortions, and close to a dozen more are expected to put it to a vote shortly.
