The US Supreme Court on Friday overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that had been in place for nearly 50 years and gave women constitutional and legal rights to an abortion. This means that the constitutional right to abortion has been ended by the court. The court, in a 6-3 ruling, upheld a Republican-backed Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks.
