Many fear that <em>Roe v.

Wade<\/em> and the implementation of stricter \u2062regulations on abortion. They are \u2064hopeful that conservative justices will provide the opportunity to revisit the landmark ruling and possibly overturn it.\u2063<\/p>\n<p>As the\u200b 2024 election approaches,\u2063 the\u200d fight\u2062 for abortion rights will continue \u200bto escalate.
