Here is my earlier post Belgarion in this topic. Take a look at some of these states. I've highlighted the 7th point. No limit abortion ffs!
This is where the states are wrt abortion as of now.

The Supreme Court overturning Roe doesn't ban abortion nationwide. The US now reverts to its pre-Roe status, when abortion policy was left entirely up to individual states to legislate.
👆 Ok that part is fine ✅
Here's where abortion access in America stands as of right now, according to the Guttmacher Institute:
1. Six states ban abortion altogether, except in cases where the patient's physical health is threatened.
2. Of the 44 states that have not banned abortions, 37 states restrict abortion at a certain point in pregnancy in some way, either defined in terms of weeks post-fertilization or weeks from the patient's last menstrual period.
3. One state, Texas, bans abortion after fetal cardiac activity can be detected, which is around six weeks of pregnancy.
4. 12 states ban abortion at 20 weeks.
Four states ban abortions at 24 weeks of pregnancy including Florida, which has a 15-week abortion ban set to take effect in July.
5. 19 states ban abortion at the point of fetal viability, which doesn't have a clear scientific definition. While viability varies case by case, most fetuses become viable outside of the womb after about 24-28 weeks of gestation.
6. Virginia bans abortion at the third trimester, which begins at 25 weeks, with exceptions for the life and general health of the patient.
7. Seven states have NO LIMIT
👆 Way too (needlessly) complex if you ask me.
And 7. is a serious worry 😩😳😐
• THE SEVEN STATES WITH NO LIMIT will hopefully change ie introduce some restrictions.
In my honest opinion though.... all states should have uniform laws wrt abortion.
Why? Women can easily go interstate to get an abortion anyway ie they can circumvent state based abortion laws.
So apart from throwing the hot potato back into the hands of each state ...the decision won't make much difference.
