With abortion overturned, what else is next? The Supreme Court’s five-member majority said 50 years of abortion rulings, starting with Roe, should be overturned as it isn’t “deeply rooted in this nation’s history and tradition,” according to Justice Alito. But this ruling has brought more questions like what could be next? Many worry about what will happen to birth control or same-sex marriage; as Justice Thomas mentioned, they should also be re-examined. Though revoking same-sex marriage is unlikely as there aren’t nationwide moments formed to oppose it, there is nothing to prevent the future court from striking it down.

How abortion access has changed already in many states In Huntsville, Alabama, Director Dalton Johnson says his clinic saw about 30 patients a day, some women even crossing state lines for services there. But with the end of Roe v Wade, some states including Alabama, now consider abortion illegal. Providers have stopped services in at least three other states for fear of prosecution. Doctors in Arkansas can face up to 10 years in prison if they perform the procedure. Black women comprise 38% of Mississippi’s population but account for 74% of the state’s abortions, showing how certain communities will be disproportionately affected by the historic ruling.

2. Have a browser tab open with each product you want to purchase.
If you can add the items to your cart, go ahead and do so ahead of the sale start time.
3. Set an alarm on your phone to 5:30 p.m. CT.
This ensures you’re ready to go when the sale is live.
4. As soon as 6 p.m. arrives, refresh your current window, and quickly select “Add to cart”.
You’ll need to do this with each window.
5. Quickly checkout while your items are still on hold in your cart.
This time is likely to be limited during Walmart’s Black Friday sales.
