The Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, a monumental and controversial decision that held Americans do not have a constitutional right to abortion.
The court's decision means states can individually decide how to regulate abortion.
Twenty-two states have laws that could be used to restrict the legal status of abortion, according to The Guttmacher Institute.
Of these 22 states, 13 have laws designed to be “triggered,” taking effect automatically or by quick state action, since Roe no longer applies. Nine states have an abortion ban on the books from before Roe v. Wade.
