Abstract
In June 2022 the US Supreme Court overturned its decision in Roe v Wade that the US constitution protected a woman's right to abortion on demand in the first trimester. This decision was much anticipated with several US states having passed anticipatory legislation that triggered abortion bans from the day of the judgment. This attracted much media attention inside and outside the US and refocused attention on reproductive rights internationally.
