Abstract
On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court issued its ruling in the landmark case Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned the constitutional right to abortion with a decision that opposes the will of the majority of Americans. Two earlier Supreme Court decisions had established and upheld that constitutional right for almost 50 years. Now, however, a "super majority" of the Court (6 of its 9 members) has voted to leave laws regarding abortion to the individual states. As soon as the Court's final decision was announced, demonstrations began in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, DC and throughout many states and cities. At the same time, anti-abortion crowds celebrated their victory in the streets, an indication of how polarised the United States has become.
