WASHINGTON, D.C (CNA) – The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade in a historic decision released Friday that brings an end to nearly a half-century of nationwide legalized abortion in the United States. The regulation of abortion now reverts to the states. Massachusetts is one of the states that already has passed laws to allow unrestricted access to abortion.
While some people are looking at the Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court as a victory for those who advocate for the life of both the mother and the child in the womb, we must also keep in mind that this decision is a legal recognition of states’ rights. MORE
The Supreme Court decision that has overturned Roe v. Wade ushers in a new era of abortion politics in the U.S., with the battleground now shifting to state legislatures.
The United States Supreme Court has ruled today, June 24, that “the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113, and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833, are overruled; the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
