Twenty-six states are certain or likely to ban abortion if as expected the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade in a decision that could be handed down this month, including 13 with trigger laws that would go into effect immediately when the ruling is published. According to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice research and policy institute, laws and constitutions in 15 other states and the District of Columbia would protect abortion rights. The emerging divide suggests a new era of post-Roe “abortion tourism.”
