States led by officials supportive of abortion rights are preparing for a world
without Roe v. Wade. If the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide is
overturned by an increasingly conservative Supreme Court, regulation of
abortion would fall to state lawmakers.
That scenario seems far more imminent with the death of liberal Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg and President Trump's nomination of conservative Judge Amy Coney
Barrett.
