Is it true that in the United States they will revoke the law that legalized abortion?

I'm very happy for the Americans, it's about time to put a stop to irresponsible women, I hope they soon ban abortion in all cases and women who abort go to prison for at least forty years.

No, actually what looks set to happen is that the US Supreme Court will overturn the 1973 ruling - Roe v. Wade - that made abortion a constitutional right. This will have the impact of returning the regulation of abortion to state - and perhaps in some cases, local - government. This being the state of the law prior to 1973.

This may mean that abortion is banned in some states, but this will be a decision for voters and state legislatures. Based on current law, actually no state will ban abortion, though some states may significantly restrict it. By contrast, in other states, access to abortions will be even more unlimited than under the current Federal constitutional right.

That right, under the initial 1973 ruling, was unlimited, but subsequent court rulings restricted to the first trimester of gestation. It also being added that abortion was - and will likely remain in all states - permissible in cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother is threatened.

In fact, it was the ambiguities and vagaries of the 1973 "Roe v. Wade" ruling that led to efforts to restrict abortion in the various states and that may, in turn, lead the reversal of the 1973 ruling.

At any rate, long story short, as a legal matter all that looks set to happen is that abortion will no longer be a constitutional right and will therefore be subject to state (and again perhaps in some cases local) government regulation. This then obviously being a decision for electorates based on who they vote for. There is also the possibility that the Congress could make abortion Federal law, but it would appear that the votes are not there for that and the national electorate is too divided on the issue to get such a law passed and enacted.

You're a very sick man, and someone's been lying to you:

"[Roe v Wade] resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the three trimesters of pregnancy: during the first trimester, governments could not prohibit abortions at all; during the second trimester, governments could require reasonable health regulations; during the third trimester, abortions could be prohibited entirely so long as the laws contained exceptions for cases when they were necessary to save the life or health of the mother"
Hardly "unlimited".

Also: "At least 11 US states – including Alabama, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas – have passed legislation that bans abortion without any [victims of rape and incest] exceptions. Where Republicans once believed that absolute bans were unpalatable and “toxic” with voters, the party’s legislators have now adopted the language once promoted by the most extreme anti-abortion activists in the country who say any such exceptions are “prejudice against children conceived in rape and incest”."

I am very glad that they prohibit it in all cases, abortion should not be legal even for rape.

Thanks for MHO, and your position is further right than any Republican used to accept.

Troll are you a failed one or something? You seem to be very against abortion. No 9/10 they won’t and even if they did state laws would still apply. 🤡
