The Supreme Court has ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade, the longtime legal precedent guaranteeing the right of legal abortion in the U.S.

The 6-3 ruling was handed down Friday morning, a major decision after months of protests and years of legal fighting over abortion rights in the country.

The court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was a determination of the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law banning most abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Advocates on both sides of the abortion issue viewed the law as a vehicle to get the Supreme Court to reconsider the Roe precedent with a new conservative supermajority more likely to rule against abortion.

The decision is likely to have major ramifications across the U.S., where states are deeply divided on abortion, with a patchwork of laws and restrictions in many states. At least 13 have already passed so-called “trigger laws” that immediately take effect upon the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and at least another dozen states have older abortion laws on the books, although it is unclear when or how those will take effect.
