If Roe v Wade does end up being overturned, it will be up to individual states to decide if the procedure is legal.

Abortion access will immediately end in 13 states with trigger laws already on the books.

Since some anti-abortion lawmakers have long hoped for this day, the state legislatures have already passed laws that would become enforceable immediately, or soon after, the court overturns the precedent.

In addition, there’s speculation that as many as twenty-six states could ban abortion in the days after the anticipated ruling.
