The US Supreme Court is this week hearing a case that could overturn the landmark 1973 Roe vs Wade ruling, a move that would wipe out abortion access for women in almost half the country.
Idaho, Texas and South Dakota are among a dozen states that have so-called trigger laws, total or near-total abortion bans designed to go into effect if Roe is gutted, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research nonprofit focused on reproductive health. At least nine other states have additional restrictions considered unconstitutional under Roe. Currently, almost 40-million women of reproductive age live in states that Guttmacher categorises as hostile to abortion rights.
States have tried passing increasingly restrictive bans on when women can seek abortions though they are often deemed unconstitutional. Texas has a six-week abortion ban in effect that deputises private citizens as enforcers, effectively rendering most abortions illegal in the state.
