Where abortion stands in your state: A state-by-state breakdown of abortion laws

The U.S. Supreme Court voted Friday to strike down Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed the right to an abortion.

In the 5-4 decision, the court ruled that "the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion."

Abortion laws and restrictions vary by state and, now the federal protection has been overturned, abortion will not be accessible everywhere in the U.S.

Here is where abortion laws stand in each state, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that focuses on sexual and reproductive health, and further reporting.

Mountains, sand dunes, river rafting, hang gliding, or even just chillin' with some flower.

Just sayin'. Colorado is a great place to vacation.

What to know: Colorado lawmakers codified unrestricted access to abortion into state law earlier this year, a month before a SCOTUS draft opinion leak in May suggested the high court would overturn the landmark 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser affirmed shortly after the ruling that "abortion remains legal in Colorado even after Dobbs."

The state's new law "guarantees the right to abortion and reproductive healthcare, including the right to medication abortion," he said in a statement, adding "these protections remain available for all seeking reproductive healthcare in our state regardless of their residency."
