US Supreme Court strikes down right to abortion
Washington/IBNS: The United States Supreme Court Friday ended the right to abortion in a ruling that overturn constitutional protections on one of the most bitterly fought issues in America.
The court overturned the landmark 1973 decision that upheld a woman's right to an abortion, stating that individual states can now permit or restrict the procedure themselves.
"The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives," the Supreme Court said on Friday.
Justice Samuel Alito said, "abortion presents a profound moral issue on which Americans hold sharply conflicting views."
"The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion," he said.
