“To the Supreme Courtroom, to the Republicans in Congress, to state governments throughout the nation; we would like you to know we totally intend to guard Roe v. Wade and we can be doing it each single day to guard those that search care and those that present care,” Pelosi stated.

If Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Courtroom and Congress doesn’t go a regulation codifying federal abortion protections, authority over abortion entry might shift to the states. Forward of the courtroom’s determination on the matter, numerous states have handed legal guidelines both proscribing or enshrining abortion entry.
