BY PHOEBE KOLBERT | In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 24 ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, state lawmakers are now free to craft their own abortion regulations, subject only to each state constitution—meaning state-level litigation and legislation has become the new frontlines for reproductive rights and access.

As a result, abortion laws are changing daily, as legislatures across the U.S. pass new protections or strip away existing ones. Governors are signing executive orders to protect reproductive freedom or calling special legislative sessions and urging their colleagues to gut protections. Judges are placing injunctions or lifting them. 

We are keeping track of the changing landscape, and will continue to update this piece as state policies continue to morph and change.
