![US Supreme Court , Overturns 'Roe v. Wade'.The six to three ruling ends the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S.The three liberal members of the Court dissented.The ruling means individual states will now decide whether to legalize abortion.The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; 'Roe' and 'Casey' are overruled, Majority Opinion, via 'The New York Times'.... and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives, Majority Opinion, via 'The New York Times'.In justifying the decision, the majority opinion evokes 'Plessy v.
