A quick definition of abortion:

Abortion is when a person chooses to end their pregnancy. It used to be legal in all states in the United States, but in 2022, the Supreme Court said that states can make laws to restrict abortion. This means that it is now up to each state to decide if they want to allow abortion or not. Before this decision, the Supreme Court said that people have a right to choose to have an abortion, but that the government can regulate it after a certain point in the pregnancy. This decision was called Roe v. Wade. There have been other court cases about abortion since then, and some states have passed laws to make it harder for people to get abortions.

A more thorough explanation:

Abortion is when a person chooses to end their pregnancy. In 1973, the Supreme Court made a decision in the case of Roe v. Wade that said people have the right to choose to have an abortion. However, in 2022, the Supreme Court made a new decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that said states can pass laws restricting abortions. This means that the rules about abortion are different in each state.

For example, in some states, there are laws that require a person to wait a certain amount of time or get permission from someone else before they can have an abortion. In other states, there are laws that ban abortions after a certain number of weeks of pregnancy.

These laws can make it harder for people to get an abortion, which can be a problem for people who need one. Some people believe that abortion should be legal and accessible for everyone who needs it, while others believe that it should be illegal in all cases.

Overall, abortion is a controversial issue that people have strong opinions about. It is important to understand the laws in your state and to talk to a doctor or other healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about your pregnancy.
