Half of US states could ban abortion as Roe v. Wade is overturned
26 states have laws indicating that they intend to ban abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Nine states have pre-Roe bans that could potentially be enforced with the ruling overturned, and 13 states have "trigger bans" in place, meaning that abortion will almost immediately be banned with Roe no longer in effect.
