The opinion will have wide-ranging consequences not just for abortion access and women’s health—but for rights like access to contraception, infertility treatments and sexual privacy.
In a cruel betrayal of the women of this country, and for the first time in the history of the Supreme Court and the United States, a fundamental constitutional right has been taken away.
This decision was expected—but that does not change its devastating impact. As of Friday morning, the trigger laws that ban abortion from the moment of fertilization on the books in thirteen states have begun to go into effect—as have the trigger laws that ban abortion after six and 15 weeks of pregnancy on the books in five additional states. Eleven states’ bans have no exceptions for cases of rape or incest, and six states have no exceptions for the health of the pregnant woman.
The impact of this ruling cannot be overstated. The opinion is all but guaranteed to have wide-ranging consequences not only for abortion access and women’s health, but for many other rights, including access to contraception, infertility treatments and sexual privacy. Justice Clarence Thomas writes that going forward the Court must “reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents.” The conservative Justice names among the precedents that should be “reconsidered.
While over half the country will now ban abortion, we know that this decision will not stop people from seeking abortions. There is a robust network of organizations and funds that exist to help abortion seekers
