Pre-Roe bans:

Most states repealed abortion bans in 1973 when Roe made them unenforceable. However, some states never repealed their pre-Roe abortion bans. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe, these states could try and revive these bans.

Trigger bans:

Abortion bans passed since Roe was decided that are intended to ban abortion entirely if the Supreme Court limited or overturned Roe.

Parental involvement:

Laws that require providers or clinics to notify parents or legal guardians of young people’s seeking abortion prior to an abortion or document parents’ or legal guardians’ consent to a young person’s abortion.

Consent laws:

Laws that require pregnant people to receive biased and often inaccurate counseling or an ultrasound prior to receiving abortion care, and, in some instances, to wait a specified amount of time between the counseling and/or ultrasound and the abortion care. These laws serve no medical purpose but, instead, seek to dissuade pregnant people from exercising bodily autonomy.

Statutory protections for abortion:

Laws passed by states that protect the right to abortion.

State constitutional protection:

A declaration from the state’s highest court affirming that the state constitution protects the right to abortion, separately and apart from the existence of any federal constitutional right.
