So-called trigger laws banning abortion in three states — Kentucky, Louisiana and South Dakota — will immediately go into effect now that the court has overruled Roe and left abortion regulations entirely up to the states.
The Supreme Court’s reversal on Friday of Roe v. Wade, the watershed 1973 ruling that recognized a constitutional right to abortion access, will have a seismic and swift impact.
There are “real and immediate consequences” to the ruling, President Biden said Friday. “State laws banning abortion are automatically taking effect today, jeopardizing the health of millions of women, some without exceptions,” he said. “Too often the case, poor women are going to be hit the hardest.”
Roughly one-quarter of the country’s abortion clinics could eventually close, according to data from the University of California San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health program. The 202 clinics would be clustered in the Southeast and Midwest, the researchers noted.Possibly ‘only hours or a couple of days’ There are the trigger bans that go into effect immediately.
Mississippi and Missouri’s bans were set to spring to action following attorney-general certification in the respective states. For Mississippi, the ban is effective 10 days after the certification, according to KFF, a healthcare think tank. The state’s 15-week ban, which makes exceptions for limited circumstances like medical emergencies, was at the center of the Dobbs case.
The bans in Texas and Tennessee happen 30 days following a Supreme Court ruling that at least partially overturns Roe and gives back the power to states to ban abortion. Texas already has a law prohibiting abortion after about six weeks into a pregnancy, before many people are aware they’re pregnant.
