Abstract

Following the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the right to an abortion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, many US states’ trigger laws banning abortions in almost all circumstances have or are about to come into effect. Shyam K. Sriram, Maddie Sontag, Caroline Corker, and Emma Randich discuss states’ use of trigger laws to restrict abortion and how they show the wide-reaching effects of overturning of Roe v Wade in the US.
