Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson decision

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Dobbs v. Jackson Women''s Health Organization that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion, overturning Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). Justice Alito wrote the majority opinion, joined by Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. The decision returned abortion regulation to state legislatures, triggering immediate bans in states with trigger laws.
