At least 13 states, mainly in the South and Midwest, have passed so-called 'trigger laws,' legislation effectively banning abortion that is ready to be enforced in the wake of the pivotal U.S. Supreme Court opinion.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, who in 2019 signed into law a near total ban on abortion, said Friday the state will ask a judge to lift an injunction and clear the way for the state to enforce the ban.
Another handful of states have near-total bans or prohibitions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant. In roughly a half-dozen other states, the fight will be over dormant abortion bans that were enacted before Roe was decided in 1973 or new proposals to sharply limit when abortions can be performed, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.Nearly half of U.S.
Georgia, Iowa, Ohio and South Carolina have 6-week abortion laws that have been previously blocked or struck down by the courts. These states are likely to reinstate those restrictions. Another six states — Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia — have both pre- and post-Roe bans on the books, and which one they will choose to observe remains unclear.
