This decision does not make terminations of pregnancy illegal, but rather it takes the United States back to the situation that prevailed before the “Roe v. Wade” judgment of 1973, when each state was free to authorize them or not.
In a highly divided country, it is likely that half of the states, especially in the more conservative and religious South and Center, could ban them in the short term.
“The Constitution makes no reference to abortion and none of its articles implicitly protects this right”Judge Samuel Alito wrote on behalf of the majority. Roe v. Wade “must be overturned.”
“It’s time to return the issue of abortion to the elected representatives of the people”, to local parliaments, he wrote. A formulation very similar to the draft sentence that had been leaked in early May, causing major demonstrations throughout the country and a wave of indignation on the left.
Since then the situation has been tense in the vicinity of the high court, cordoned off by the security forces to keep the protesters at a distance.
