Trigger law

[10][11][12] Eight states, among them Alabama, Arizona, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, as well as the already mentioned Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas, still have their pre-Roe v. Wade abortion bans on the law books.

In North Carolina, a prohibition on abortions after 20 weeks (excepting medical emergencies) was passed in 1973 but unenforceable due to Roe v. Wade and a court ruling that it was unconstitutional[13][14] until it was reinstated by U.S. District Judge William Osteen Jr. in August 2022.

[17][18][19][needs update] Unlike abortion trigger laws prior to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, these are not unconstitutional at the moment and are only inactive because they rely on certain conditions to activate.

In the 2015 Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges, all state constitutional and statutory bans of same-sex marriage were made null and void.

Richmond, California has strict ordinances related to rent control that will take effect in the event that the statewide Costa–Hawkins Rental Housing Act is repealed.
