If Roe v. Wade Falls, 26 States Are Certain or Likely to Ban Abortion
A leaked draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization indicates that anti-abortion ideologues on the US Supreme Court are poised to overturn Roe v. Wade explicitly. The draft opinion is not yet final and abortion remains legal in all 50 states, at least for now. If the Court issues a similar decision to this draft version, our experts predict that 26 states are certain or likely to move quickly to ban abortion. Find more resources on our Roe v. Wade in Peril page.
