Abortion is currently illegal in the state until further notice.

If the Texas ruling is upheld, the Supreme Court may impose "a national abortion ban."

If the Supreme Court upholds Kacsmaryk's ruling and restricts access to medication abortion, Ocasio-Cortez has left the door open for the Biden administration to disregard the ruling.

Quick Glance: Wyoming Bans Abortion Pill as Broader Abortion Ban Takes Effect

Wyoming is the first state to outlaw the use of abortion pills.

The law, which takes effect in July, makes it a felony to prescribe, sell, or use abortion medication, which is the most commonly used method of terminating a pregnancy.

People who violate the law face up to six months in prison and a fine.

The so-called Life Is a Human Right Act went into effect on Sunday, making abortion illegal in most cases and punishable by up to five years in prison.

Quick Glance: After the Roe v Wade decision, a judge temporarily blocked Louisiana's trigger abortion prohibition.

Louisiana was one of the 13 states to enact such legislation, but a judge in New Orleans has temporarily barred the state from executing it.

A temporary restraining order was obtained by Robin Giarrusso, an Orleans Parish civil district court judge, prohibiting the state from enacting any "trigger law."

However, the Louisiana attorney general, Jeff Landry, stated that the petitioners are "in for a tough fight."

The decision by the Supreme Court to reverse the 1973 Roe v Wade judgment was also described as "a cruel and irresponsible stripping of a woman's agency" by New Orleans district attorney Jason Williams.

Quick Glance: Texas and Ohio Supreme Courts allow abortion bans to go into force

1 July (Reuters) - After the United States Supreme Court invalidated the nationwide constitutional right to abortion last week, the top courts in Texas and Ohio permitted Republican-led states to impose abortion restrictions and bans on Friday.

Wade decision nullified women's constitutional right to abortion.

The landmark Roe v Wade abortion decision is overturned by the United States Supreme Court.

In an 8-1 decision on Tuesday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court authorized the implementation of another abortion ban in the state.

Quick Glance: A Texas judge has blocked Vice President Biden's order mandating hospitals to provide emergency abortions.

The judgment effectively delegated the option to states to protect abortion rights.

As a result, abortion prohibitions have grown throughout Republican-led states such as Idaho and Tennessee, even as abortion rights groups use the US courts to uphold reproductive health safeguards guaranteed by state constitutions.

Hendrix refrained from blocking the guidance on a nationwide scale, instead retaining the prohibition in Texas.

According to Reuters, the decision lays the way for another anticipated judgement in a Justice Department lawsuit against a recent abortion ban in Idaho, which involves the identical federal legislation at the heart of the Texas case.

The landmark Roe v Wade abortion decision is overturned by the United States Supreme Court.

The Casey decision was also reversed in Friday's judgement.
