The US Supreme Court has made an important decision.

It's ended women's right to have an abortion.

There have been protests in many cities.

Judges voted 6 to 3 to change the court's decision on 'Roe vs Wade'.

This 1973 case had given all women the legal right to end a pregnancy.

But now each US state can make its own abortion laws.

Many states immediately activated laws to ban all abortions.

Brandy Michaud sees time going backwards.

Other states want to protect women's rights.

New York governor Kathy Hochul's helping women from states with abortion bans.

Vice President Kamala Harris thinks this situation is bad for women's health.

She's also worried about people's rights to make personal decisions.

Some people in the USA have strong opinions about abortion.

It's a dangerous topic to discuss.

But 85 percent of Americans think it's OK in some or all situations.

People worry that this decision could create more arguments.

And that the Supreme Court could change other decisions too.

Andrew Reisman thinks more rights will be lost.
