CNS STORY: What will happen if Roe v. Wade is overturned? States will decide

"'Roe hangs by a thread on the Supreme Court,' said NARAL Pro-Choice America in its 2006 report on 'The Status of Women's Reproductive Rights in the United States,' referring to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision lifting most state restrictions on abortion.
