Which States Have Trigger Laws To Ban Abortion After Roe v. Wade Overturned? The U.S. supreme court has officially overturned Roe v. Wade, the 49-year-old landmark decision that has protected a pregnant woman’s right to an abortion under the constitution. The ruling gives 50 states the power to set their own abortion laws. In fact, abortion will instantly become illegal in over a dozen states, called “trigger laws.” Find out how this could reshape women’s reproductive rights from state to state.

Which Companies Are Paying Employees To Travel For Abortions? A Simple List The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is expected to ban abortions in roughly half of U.S. states. Companies like Disney and Starbucks have pledged to their employees that the costs would be covered if they needed to travel out of state for abortions. Here is a list of all the companies who will pay employees who travel for abortions.
"All we ask you is help us bring Miya home," Marcano's grandmother Joysue Thompson told the news station. "Bring her home safe, just drop her off and let us know where she is and we'll pick her up—just bring her home."
The young woman was seen at the Arden Villas Apartments, where she lived and worked, around 5 p.m. on September 24. Her father, Marlon Marcano, told WESH he spoke to his daughter on Friday afternoon but did not hear from her when she got off work and she never boarded the plane for a trip to visit family.
Orange County deputies searched in and around the complex but did not locate Marcano. Police said that she does not own a car.
"A big issue that people who recently moved in have had is that the gate that we have is not always closed and people would like it to always be closed," Asia Owens, a resident at the apartment complex told WESH. "I think especially after this, I would agree with them on that."
Other residents told Florida media that police and a sheriff's helicopter searched the wooded area behind the complex throughout the weekend but no details from the effort have been released.
Although Marcano is not a student at UCF, the apartment complex is about a mile from campus, and school officials asked students to keep an eye out for the young woman or to come forward with information that may help with the investigation.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office intended to hold a press conference at 1 p.m on Monday to provide an update about the case but they told Newsweek it was postponed it until 3 p.m, although it was initially believed to be canceled by Marcano's family.
They previously told WESH they felt frustrated that not many details have been released in the three days that Marcano has been missing but they hope to have more information from police soon.

"Keep Miya in your prayers. Don't give up on Miya. I believe Miya is alive and we're going to find her," her aunt Simone told reporters on Monday. "We have more family coming. We have friends coming. We have strangers who are driving from all over Florida. We are leaving here with Miya alive."
She added that she hopes spreading the word about her niece will help bring her home.
Marcano is described as 5-feet-tall, 130 pounds, and has brown hair and green eyes. Anyone with information about Marcano's whereabouts is encouraged to call the Orange County Sheriff's Office at 407-836-4357.
