more than 20 us states that have abortion laws on their books that would get triggered should there be any rollback or change to roe v wade and in effect, you would have abortion outlawed or severely curtailed by more than half the united states if the us supreme court goes ahead and does this. this is an earthquake. this is huge of the go ahead with it. this is the case the been waiting for for years and there is huge pressure on this conservatives that have joined the court recently. but organisations like the federal society to hold their ground because some of the decisions in the past couple of years on abortion cases did not go their way. so, years on abortion cases did not go theirway. so, it is years on abortion cases did not go their way. so, it is a huge focus on how this goes down. taste their way. so, it is a huge focus on how this goes down. their way. so, it is a huge focus on how this goes down. we are going to have to wait how this goes down. we are going to have to
