It is likely to be banned in about half the states, mostly in the South and Midwest.The 6-3 ruling came in the case of Dobbs v.

Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which involves a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The court heard the case in December, and a draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, was leaked to the press in May.The final opinion, released today, was written by Alito.

He was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch, and John Roberts, with Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer dissenting. "The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives," the ruling reads.The ruling has grave implications, and not just for cisgender straight women.
