On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a decision that gave women the constitutional right to have an abortion.. It is reported by the Washington Post.

We are talking about the decision in the case " The reversal of this decision could lead to a ban on abortion in conservative states of the American South and Midwest..

" The right to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,"

Opponents of the verdict believe that this decision could lead to an increase in the number of clandestine abortions.. And also as a consequence - increased mortality among women, abandonment of newborns and infanticide.

While each state can decide this issue at its discretion, but the adoption of amendments to the law is expected in 50 states. Thus, the changes will affect about 36 million women of reproductive age.. There is a possibility that these women will be forced to travel to other states where abortion will be allowed..
