        On June 24, 2022, the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court voted to abolish the constitutional right to abortion. The 6-3 majority decision overturned the landmark ruling of the 1973, Roe V. Wade, which generally protected a pregnant woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. This decision is expected to have negative cascading effects across the U.S. healthcare system.
