The 1925 law at the core of the case was in effect until the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. It made performing an abortion punishable by up to five years in prison.

The president's signing comes just over a month after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killed 19 children and two adults.

Jim Obergefell was the named plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage in 2015. He spells out why the LGBTQ+ community is so concerned about Roe v Wade.

Providers in Texas said they would stop offering abortions immediately while they figure out if anti-abortion laws in effect before Roe now apply.
