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

The Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in a 6-3 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, ending the federal constitutional right to abortion after nearly 50 years. The ruling returns abortion regulation authority to individual states, triggering immediate abortion bans in 13 states with trigger laws. President Biden condemns the decision as "a tragic error" and calls on Congress to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. Justice Samuel Alito writes the majority opinion, joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Chief Justice Roberts. Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan dissent.
