The bans in Kentucky, Louisiana and Utah have been put on hold.

Democrats hope the high court decision will turn out their base in the upcoming elections, as they disagree with their states' abortion bans. The ruling could have an impact on abortion policies in battleground states with races that could affect them. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, who is running for reelection, can block the legislature from passing a new abortion ban if he is re-elected, as well as the attorney general who has vowed not to enforce the state's pre- abortion laws. Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan have high-profile gubernatorial races with Democrats who could block abortion bans, as well as Kansas having a ballot measure in August on abortion rights.
On June 24, the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. The ruling immediately spurred a wave of abortion bans across the country as state "trigger laws" took effect, along with abortion bans enacted before the decision was made and restrictions that had previously been blocked in court but were now allowed to take effect. 26 states will eventually ban or restrict the procedure according to the Guttmacher institute. A majority of Americans oppose the Supreme Court's ruling on abortion rights and support restrictions on the procedure further into a pregnant woman, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center.
