U.S. Supreme Court

Abortion pills and other services are legal in Florida despite the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. But state law makes it harder to access them than in some other states.

About 930,000 abortions occurred in the U.S. in 2020, an 8% increase from 2017. But that nationwide figure belies dramatic variation among states — disparities expected to magnify post-Roe v. Wade.

A law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks is set to go into effect Friday unless a judge issues a temporary injunction. Arguments in the challenge resume Thursday.

The civil rights groups and abortion providers say an amendment in the state constitution guarantees a broad right to privacy, which includes the right to abortion.

Roman Catholic abortion rights opponents say they'll push now to get a complete ban in Florida. But U.S. polls indicate pro-choice Catholics still outnumber them.

Politicians across the state react to the news that the Supreme Court majority overturned the landmark case that had provided constitutional protections for people seeking abortions for almost 50 years.

The 7-2 decision involved a teen who suffered catastrophic injuries after being hit by a truck in 2008 and how much money Medicaid should be able to recover. The case has drawn attention from officials across the country.

Nothing about abortion access has changed, and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling won’t mean an immediate shift.

Several groups including the ACLU of Florida, The Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood have done so — filing suit on behalf of abortion providers across the state.

Some of the drugs restricted after seven weeks in Texas are also used to treat a patient after an early pregnancy loss.
