Abortion laws exist in all fifty states of the United States, in the territories of the United States, and in virtually every nation in the world. These laws range from requiring taxpayer-funded abortion as ordered by courts in liberal states to a ban on abortion except in cases to save the life of the mother in some nations.
Abortion laws can be rendered unenforceable by state courts. Planned Parenthood is involved in many of these lawsuits, for instance, Planned Parenthood v. Danforth[1] and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. [2]
