From a New York Times story by Sophie Kasakove headlined “What’s Happening With Abortion Legislation Across the Country”:
With the Supreme Court appearing poised to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade case that has guaranteed the right to abortion in the United States for decades, a cascade of restrictive abortion legislation has been proposed in Republican-led states.
Last month, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida signed into law a ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, severely restricting access to the procedure. The new law, which takes effect on July 1, is modeled after a similar abortion ban in Mississippi that the Supreme Court seems set to uphold.
