The Post-Roe World: Challenging the Trigger Bans

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Abortion clinics in some states are successfully filing for temporary restraining orders on trigger laws banning abortion that went into effect after the Supreme Court's June 24 decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
39% : One such case has reactivated Tennessee's "heartbeat" abortion law banning abortions after six weeks, vacating the injunction against it from 2020 and effectively banning all abortion within the state before the state's trigger law criminalizing abortion comes into effect 30 days after the Dobbs decision.
38% : UtahAnother state judge granted a request by Planned Parenthood of Utah and issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the state's 2020 trigger law, citing the potential of irreparable harm to doctors and people seeking abortions if the order was not in place.
34% : Other states have successfully reversed injunctions on laws that sought to restrict abortion while Roe's protections were still active, banning abortion in their states quicker than anticipated.
30% : The decision overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and removed federal protections for a person's right to an abortion, clearing the way for both trigger laws and inactive laws that were never formally repealed by state legislators that ban abortion.
