The U.S. Supreme Court ended nearly 50 years of constitutional protection for abortion in a conservative majority decision to overturn the decision, the AP reported.

Friday's decision is expected to lead to a ban on abortion in about half the states.

The court statement notes that the Constitution does not give a right to abortion and says it is necessary to overturn Roe v. Wade, a 1973 ruling that has governed abortion rights ever since.

The court statement also notes that "the power to regulate abortion should be returned to the people and their elected representatives."
