AV Round Table: The Future of Roe v. Wade

Activists on both sides of the abortion debate took to the streets in protest after the leaking of a draft Supreme Court decision that could overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that made abortion legal in the United States. Pro-life proponents say overturning the decision is a victory for unborn children. Pro-choice proponents say overturning the decision eliminates a woman's right to determine her own healthcare. Who is likely to be most affected if abortion becomes illegal on the federal level? What will happen to the women who live in the 13 states that have "trigger laws" that will immediately ban abortions upon the Court's decision? What will happen to women without the means to travel to states that will perform the procedure? And how will this decision impact the upcoming mid-term elections?
