Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “What’s behind US supreme court decision on abortion? | Inside Story” – below is their description.
The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down Roe v Wade – a federal ruling that allowed abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
It had been law of the land for nearly 50 years.
Immediately after the decision came down, dozens of states began to ban or severely restrict the procedure.
It also led to protests right across the country.
On one side, women say they’ve lost control of their own bodies.
While others say the decision was long overdue.
So, how will this ruling impact other laws? and can Roe v Wade be restored?
