Abortion was automatically outlawed in 18 US states as soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned, thanks to specially-devised 'trigger laws' and historic bans that were automatically reenacted after Friday's ruling.
Thirteen states prepared trigger laws which would automatically outlaw terminations in the event of a ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, which was widely-anticipated.
They are: Arkansas; Idaho; Kentucky; Louisiana; Mississippi; Missouri; North Dakota; Oklahoma; South Dakota; Tennessee; Texas; Utah and Wyoming.
Abortion bans in those states will now become law within 30 days.
Five other states have also now banned terminations, after historic laws superseded by the 1973 Roe ruling automatically came back into place.
Among those five are two Democrat-governed states - Michigan and Wisconsin.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers have both sought to overturn those bans in the court. But they remain in place for now, and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced Friday afternoon that it was suspending terminations while awaiting clarification on the law.
Other states with newly-re-enacted historic bans are Alabama, Arizona and West Virginia.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has announced the historic ban will be superseded by a recent law banning terminations after 15 weeks.
But that edict hasn't been enshrined in state law, and pro-lifers could end up battling Ducey to keep the historic ban on all terminations, leaving abortion providers uncertain of whether they can operate in the meantime.
Eight other states are also set to enact new anti-abortion laws. Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina all attempted to ban abortion after the six week mark.

What an astonishing day.
The sheep and goat states are separating out more clearly.
That is an amazing graphic. SWIPED
Great news!
WOW Michigan has a trigger law, Whitmer must be in a frenzy LOL, LOL,!!!
Did any states have laws against abortion before Roe v Wade that are still active laws?
Was this ‘trigger law’ plan publicized?
Did ‘that woman from Michigan’ know about it?
I’ll bet she didn’t.
Where is Georgia on the list?
Oh wait....the Governor, Lt Governor, SecState, House and Senate Leadership, and AG are completely bought and paid for by all the new wealthy Liberal Democrat benefactors that have come to the state in recent years: Soros, Microsoft, Facebook, Hollywood, the film industry, to name a few.
Hopefully, the legislature gets on it, but doubtful they will. I don’t think Republicans have a veto proof majority nor the spine to tell the Governor and Ralston to pound sand.
Other states with newly-re-enacted historic bans are Alabama, Arizona and West Virginia.
I LOVE THAT!!!
that is great! LOL
This decision could have such a ripple effect as liberals that that may have been thinking of migrating to another state, might now have second thoughts.
Hopefully, Georgia passes something that causes all the ones that have moved here to pack their crap and move. It will be a better place without them.
Praise Almighty God!!
People on FR probably don't know that he was a graduate of a Catholic school in segregated Savannah that was set up after the Civil War by the then Bishop of Savannah, Bishiop Augustin Verot, who was French born and had been a professor at St Mary's Seminary in Baltimore prior to being named bishop.
Verot was Bishop of Savannah and Vicar of Florida, and eventually the First Bishop of St Augustine (all of Florida) before, during and after the Civil War.
Bp Verot was very concerned about the plight of the African descent population after the CW (which he said left the South a heap of smoking ruins) and about all of the South.
He tried to provide the recently emancipated population with the education that had been denied them.
Verot set up schools in Florida and all over Georgia, bringing in women's religious orders from France or Canada or New York to run them.
In his autobiography Clarence Thomas credits his “old nun” (meaning your former classroom teacher) with telling him to buckle down and study...and the rest is history.
That’s very plausible and intriguing.
I may be the only person on this site that feels that woman in Malta with an incomplete miscarriage should be allowed to abort the baby. I hope she doesn’t die.its a tragic situation.
That was one of my first thoughts: that maybe some of these California lefties will quit moving here to Texas.
Win-Win!!!
Looks like the woman got transported to spain to save her life
