The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide. The 6–3 decision was the culmination of decades of efforts by anti-abortion activists, who argued that the Roe decision was wrongly decided and that abortion should be left up to individual states.

The decision is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half of U.S. states. It is also expected to have a significant impact on American politics, as abortion is likely to become a major issue in the upcoming midterm elections and the 2024 presidential election.

The decision was met with a mix of reactions, with some people celebrating and others protesting. President Biden called the decision “a sad day for the court and for the country” and said that it “will have profound consequences.”

Pro-choice activists vowed to continue fighting for abortion rights, while pro-life activists praised the decision. The decision is likely to lead to further legal challenges and protests, as the issue of abortion remains a highly divisive one in the United States.

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a significant development in American politics. It is the first time that the court has overturned a major precedent in decades, and it is likely to have a major impact on the upcoming midterm elections and the 2024 presidential election.

The decision is also a major victory for anti-abortion activists, who have been working for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade. It is a setback for abortion rights advocates, who will now have to fight to protect abortion access in the states where it is likely to be banned.
