Can someone tell me what´s the legal situation in the US regarding abortion? It´s state law, right? So what are the regulations in most of the States? Is abortion legal?

It was a state issue until the Supreme Court ruled in 1972 that somehow it is not murder (a state issue) but a "right" of the mother to kill her child. In effect no state can pass laws with reguard to abortion. There are some, such as requiring parental consent, etc. in some states, but even these are being challenged at the Federal level.
