Photo: APWith today's decision of the Supreme Court in the USA, women have been deprived of their right to an abortion. In the American judiciary, the Supreme Court has not yet overturned its previously passed law. The Supreme Court decision is expected to set off political battles the likes of which America has not seen since the abolition of slavery
As of today, abortion is prohibited in the United States of America. The Supreme Court of America, with six votes in favor and three against, ended the existing constitutional right of a woman to an abortion adopted 50 years ago.
"Therefore, we believe that the Constitution does not grant the right to abortion... and that the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives," the part of the verdict states.
It is expected that half of the US states will immediately based on this decision introduce new restrictions or bans on abortion, and that access to abortion will be cut off for about 36 million women of childbearing age, according to research Planned Parenthood (Planned Parenthood), a health care organization that performs abortions.
The Supreme Court's decision is likely to set off political battles the likes of which America has not seen since the abolition of slavery, when states were divided between two seemingly irreconcilable sides.
The American public believes that this decision was prepared during the tenure of Donald Trump, when the Supreme Court was the most conservative in modern US history due to the three judges he appointed. Six of the nine current judges were appointed by Republican presidents, and the other three were appointed by Democrats.
The states of California, New Mexico and Michigan have already announced a proposal to include provisions on the right to abortion in their constitutions, in the event that, as happened today, the Supreme Court bans abortion.
50 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled by seven votes to two that it is a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. The reason for that decision was the case of Roe v. Wade. The ruling gave American women the absolute right to an abortion in the first three months of pregnancy, but allowed restrictions in the second trimester and prohibitions in the third.
Decades after this case, more than 10 US states passed rulings that significantly limited the right to abortion. That's why last year there were almost 600 abortion restrictions across the country. That's more than any year in the last half century.
Today's decision of the Supreme Court is a unique precedent in the American judiciary, because it has never happened that this body overturns its own, earlier decision.
