According to the majority of the Supreme Court of EE.UU, the country's constitution "does not limit each state's ability to regulate abortion." This has been the argument for rejecting the precedent set 50 years ago. Roe v. The Wade case guaranteed the right to interrupt pregnancy across the U.S. territory, without excessive government restrictions, and has remained the watchword of conservatives for many years. The court has taken the decision by a majority and the three liberal judges have shown their disagreement.

The NPR media has stated that in more than 25 states the laws to limit or prohibit abortion are prepared, Roe v the Supreme Court. Those who enter into force with the cancellation of the antecedent imposed by the Wade case. In fact, the 1973 case invalidated several State and federal laws, and once the competence to guarantee or prohibit the right to abortion was revoked it was up to each State.

Once this law is rejected, abortion will become illegal in several states. In Idaho, for example, within 30 days, abortion will be almost illegal, and doctors who fail to comply with the law will be able to receive prison sentences. Also in Texas, termination of pregnancy is strictly forbidden.
