Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned a portion of the state’s near total ban on abortion, ruling women have a right to abortion when pregnancy risks their health, not just in a medical emergency.Roe v. Wade.
In the 5-4 ruling, the court said the state law uses both the words "preserve" and "save" the mother’s life as an exception to the abortion ban. The court, however, declined to rule on whether the state Constitution grants the right to an abortion for other reasons. "We are disappointed that the Court declined to rule whether the state Constitution also protects the right to abortion outside of these circumstances," Northrup said.
