    Roe V Wade

    Roe V Wade as I understand it said that most laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy, overturning all state laws outlawing or restricting abortion. So the immediate direct effect of an overturn would not be to outlaw abortion in any state - I think each state would have to enact laws to make abortion illegal, or perhaps revive laws on the books.
