What would the U.S. look like in 30 years if Roe v. Wade is repealed?

Abstract

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973 at the end of June 2022. This action will give each of the 50 states to legalize or illegalize abortion within their jurisdiction. 26 states are expressed intention to ban access to abortion which will have extreme reprocussions in areas of reproductive health, politics, political affiliation, and social division. This journalistic piece composed of a future forecast article, a brief reporter’s diary, and a Q&A with a life long pro-abortion activist explores what the future of the U.S. will look like without national access to abortion. The lack in any in depth planning by either side of the abortion movement will lead to an increase in the political party divide and inadequate reproductive health care for American women, especially in the lower classes. In time, the young generation will take up the fight and lead the pro-abortion movement to fight for greater abortion rights.
