A decision by the US Supreme Court has ended the legal right to have an abortion.

The court's ruling has led to demonstrations across the country.

6 of the 9 Supreme Court judges voted to overturn the 1973 'Roe vs Wade' ruling, which had said that the state did not have the right to stop abortions.

The new ruling allows each state to set its own abortion laws.

Around half either immediately banned abortions, or plan to do so.

Brandy Michaud can't believe the judgement.

Some states have offered help to people who are unable access abortions in their own state.

Kathy Hochul is New York state governor.

US Vice President Kamala Harris believes the Supreme Court ruling will create a health crisis.

She also spoke about the risks to other constitutional rights.

Abortion is an issue which divides politics in the United States.

However, polls report that around 85 percent of Americans agree with abortion in some or all circumstances.

There are fears that the court's ruling could create more political conflict.

People are also concerned about what the court might do next.

Andrew Reisman believes that many more rights are under threat.
