The fallout from the Roe v Wade reversal has begun, with 13 US states enacting trigger laws that ban abortion in those jurisdictions.

The decision to overturn the ruling of 1973 does not in itself outlaw abortion, but removes the right from the US Constitution, leaving the onus back on the states – much like the case in Australia.

Washington Post correspondent Casey Parks told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the 13 states were all conservative-leaning states.

In Oregon, where she lives, a $15 million fund was set up to help patients in neighbouring states cross the border for abortion access.

"As with anything that makes people upset, eventually those donations and funds will drop off," she told Bartlett.
