Friday morning, the Supreme Court published its 5-4 decision on a Mississippi case that ruled the 50-year Roe v. Wade precedent unconstitutional.

Since news of the decision came down, crowds have gathered outside the Supreme Court steps.

This decision came from the Mississippi case Dobb v. Jackson, which challenged a 2018 Mississippi law that banned most abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.

On Friday, the Supreme Court majority ruled that law is constitutional.

In upholding the Mississippi law as constitutional, the Court also ruled Roe v. Wade is unconstitutional - meaning, the federal government does not have the authority to protect abortions. Instead, states can decide what's legal.
