RELATEDBiden gives remarks after Roe v. Wade is overturned by Supreme Court | USA TODAY
In a decision with enormous consequences for reproductive rights, the Supreme Court on Friday overruled its landmark Roe decision that established a constitutional right to abortion in 1973.

Experts predict new laws and lawsuits will quickly crop up over whether states can clamp down on medication abortions, which account for 54% of terminated pregnancies. Some conservative lawmakers are flirting with banning people from obtaining an abortion in more liberal states. Other lawsuits will probably emerge challenging abortion laws under state constitutions.
