This market resolves to YES if, by 5/9/2027, the federal government passes a law saying that abortion is banned in all 50 states. A law can qualify even if it carves out exceptions for certain subsets of women (eg those whose health are in danger). This market resolves to YES immediately after this happens, even if the law is later repealed or struck down.

Trump disavowed the idea. Don't see any route for this to happen.

How low does the week limit need to be to make this resolve YES? Would a 15-week national ban do it, for example?

To put this to the extreme, would a national ban on sex-selective abortions qualify, if it left all other abortions untouched?

without loans it is pointless, sorry

It won't happen, but it's far, far more likely than Roe v. Wade being codified into Federal law in five years.
