Roe v Wade

We spoke with Mary Ziegler, author of "Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present," about the implications of a bill proposed for the next legislative session.

Restrictive abortion laws across the South mean more women are traveling across state lines to find safe services.

The state law bans most abortions after 15 weeks. The lower courts blocked its enforcement, finding it in conflict with Roe v. Wade and subsequent abortion decisions.

The law bans nearly all abortions and is among the most restrictive in the country. It's part of a broader anti-abortion strategy to prompt the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider the right to abortion.
