The ruling "consigns women to second-class citizenship," dissenting judges wrote. A majority of the U.S. public has supported keeping abortion legal.
An ectopic pregnancy is the most common cause of pregnancy death in the first trimester.
Here's what employers need to consider regarding employment law, medical plan coverage, and employee privacy.
Several district attorneys said they would not use a Georgia "heartbeat law"—expanding the concept of personhood—to prosecute women seeking abortion or their doctors or other helpers. But other DAs said they would.
The decision would see the half-century-old Roe v. Wade ruling axed, allowing states to decide on their own abortion restrictions.
Sen. Marco Rubio has introduced a bill that would block companies from writing off reimbursement costs for abortion travel.
Research shows, "limiting access to abortion leads to higher unemployment for women, less ability to feed themselves and their families and greater chance of falling into poverty."
While most insurance plans cover the costs of abortions, companies must now create an infrastructure to ensure employees' access to those procedures.
The Trump administration wants Obamacare insurers to send patients separate bills each month for the portion of their policies that covers abortion.
Democrats honed in on the ACA and portrayed the election as a way for voters to offset the court's expected further shift to the right.
