Impending Changes to Abortion Rights

This chapter examines a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion suggesting the overturn of Roe v. Wade, igniting potential changes in abortion laws and women's reproductive rights in the U.S. It analyzes the historical avoidance of substantial abortion legislation by political parties, along with the proposed Women's Health Protection Act aimed at codifying Roe v. Wade. The discussion also reflects on the complexities surrounding public opinion, legislative challenges, and the wider implications of varying abortion laws across states.
