Abortion ban takes effect in Tennessee, Texas temporarily blocks ban
1/5
Abortion ban implemented
A federal court has allowed Tennessee to ban abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy, while a Texas judge temporarily blocked enforcement of that state's decades-old ban on virtually all abortions.

State-wise restrictions
Statewide bans or other restrictions that were either left on the books for generations, tied up by legal challenges or specifically designed to take effect if Roe were to fall are now in play as a result of last week's Supreme Court ruling eliminating the constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy.

Planned parenthood
Abortion rights advocates also dropped some of their legal efforts in Indiana, Minnesota and Missouri. Some clinics initially turned patients away soon after the high court ruling came down, but then reopened as judges ruled in their favour.

Tennessee
In Tennessee, the US Circuit Court of Appeals allowed a six-week ban to take effect at the state's request. An even more restrictive ban, is set to take effect in a month. Both measures would make performing an abortion a felony and subject doctors to up to 15 years in prison.

Newer restrictions
Additional lawsuits could also target old anti-abortion laws that were left on the books in some states and went unenforced under Roe. Newer abortion restrictions that were put on hold pending the Supreme Court ruling are also coming back into play.
