Short question from someone living in the EU. How is the US currently dealing with the aftermath of Roe vs Wade?

It’s a slow decline. While many states has laws on the books or trigger laws going into effect on reversal, a good number are held up in litigation on state law / constitutional issues (especially some states that passed healthcare freedom laws after Obamacare).

In other areas, networks are continuing to operate, sending pills to women in need or transporting women across state lines to legal states.

Some states have also had citizen referendums to protect abortion. In response, some are pushing laws to restrict citizens’ ability to pass referendums (see Arkansas and Ohio)

All and all, Republicans are trying to clap down, but there has been some resistance.
