Now that Roe is gone, what happens in the states?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : (The laws in these states vary as to whether abortion is allowed through fetal viability or through an entire pregnancy.)
52% : Passing laws on abortion, either for or against, undoubtedly will become a major topic of attention among state legislators and governors in the years ahead.
46% : This suggests that abortion would remain legal in Minnesota for now.
45% : In March, Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics identified at least seven and possibly up to 10 states where polling shows majority or plurality support among voters for abortion access, yet the possibility that abortion might be severly restricted.
44% : "There will doubtless be fights in many states that have abortion restrictions, both as to whether the state constitution protects the right to abortion, and as to how the state laws should be interpreted," Volokh said.
41% :"What seems clear is there will be a checkerboard effect," with some states allowing abortion said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond law professor.
41% : Another six states lack laws clearly permitting or prohibiting abortion, so in those states, the issue will likely become subject to intense political activity.
41% : The absence for now of laws banning abortion in these states would suggest that it will remain legal there, at least in the immediate future.
39% : Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, the decisions about whether to permit abortion revert to the states.
39% : These states either have pre-Roe laws restricting abortion that snap back into effect if Roe is overturned, or they have "trigger" laws that were written to take effect in the absence of Roe.
37% : Finally, six states have contradictory legal and political realities that make the future of abortion in these states hard to determine.
36% : That's because, in each of those states, a law banning abortion had been blocked in the courts.
32% :More states -- 18 in all -- will see abortion become illegal, if not immediately, then soon.
