What to know about abortion rulings, bills and campaigns as the US marks Roe anniversary

There's action on abortion policy in rulings, legislatures, and campaigns for candidates and ballot measures on the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The 1973 ruling established the right to abortion across the U.S. But things have been in flux since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned it in 2022. Measures to protect abortion access will be on the ballots this year in at least two states — and are under consideration in a dozen more. Activists used Monday for legislative hearings and campaign launches. Legal questions about when exceptions apply in states with bans are playing out in federal agencies and courts.
