The supreme court overturns Roe v. Wade on Friday, June 24th, 2022. Now that Roe v. Wade is dead, what are the ramifications of losing a federal constitutional right to an abortion? Many of you, Dear Readers, have expressed confusion, frustration, and despair in your emails and DMs received on social media. This blog has put together JMS Crisis Management Hit List to help you navigate this historic decision and understand the reality on the ground; so you know what to do moving forward.

The JMS team is in the business of designing recovery plans as robust as possible that avoid behavioral or productivity inertia. Now, without further ado, let’s dive into everything you need to know about how losing Roe v. Wade affects you and your loved ones.
Goodbye Roe v. Wade means states determine abortion rights.
Unlike what you might have heard from the media or friends, losing Roe v. Wade does not mean that women will no longer have access to abortions. It simply means that the federal constitution will no longer protect reproductive freedom. Essentially, the supreme court returns to the states the ability to enact the measures they see fit to regulate abortions.
In practice, Dear Readers, it means that you must be more informed when considering moving to another state. Just as you evaluate the quality of life and the strength of the local job market; you’ll have to find out about state regulations concerning this procedure. In short, it’s about federalism. You get to choose to live in a state that protects the life of the unborn or in one that forces its residents to pay for everyone else’s abortion. The choice is yours. There is no need to panic! Or is there? Tell us why in the comment section below!
What states already have laws on the books that could ban abortions now that the supreme court overturned Roe v. Wade?
To help you, Dear Readers, we researched and put together the stater list for you to know where states stand. Essentially, there are three categories under which individual states are likely to fall:
One – Snapback clauses after Roe v. Wade.
Many states already had laws on the books that could ban abortions if the supreme court was ever going to overturn Roe v. Wade. We call them the snapback states. These states had unenforced post-1973 bans as long as Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. They are Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho at the time of the writing of this publication. Remember, Dear Readers, the snapback laws are not all the same, but they essentially restrict just about all abortions.
Two – No snapback clauses before Roe v. Wade.
These states already had pre-1973 bans on abortions. A reversal of Roe v. Wade reestablishes the legal path for these states to enact their bans. They are Wisconsin, Michigan, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Arizona.
Three – States have enshrined abortions in their law.
The list includes Maine, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, DC, Maryland, Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, and Illinois.
What about the remaining states?
The remaining states have some laws regarding abortion already on the books. But, Dear Readers, it’s up to you to remain informed since the laws greatly vary.
In conclusion, there are a variety of state laws on abortion in this country. Overturning Roe v. Wade did not eliminate total access to abortions. It returned to power to the states to legislate the procedure as they see fit! Can we now cut it out with the dramatics and unnecessary theatrics the media have been displaying nonstop since last Friday? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
