Last week the US Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion in the United States. It took effect in nearly half the country's 52 states, and more states are expected to limit access in the coming months.

The Judgement means the end of the US-wide Roe V Wade ruling that has guaranteed the nationwide right to abortion services since 1973 and gives individual states the power to determine abortion rights.
