there's nothing i can do. you're going to have to find somewhere else to go. i mean, i can give them information to help them try, but it's heartbreaking, man. like, you know, this place saved my life, literally, and to not be able to provide anybody else with that when i know what this place is capable of, it's heartbreaking, man. for more than ten years, dr willie parker has travelled here from another state because the restrictive laws and the threat of violence or financial ruin has long been too great for local doctors to carry out abortions here themselves. i feel angry in the way that anybody who is deeply vested in human rights should feel angry and outraged and indignant, any time they are witnessing injustice. we will come to recognise the full cost of criminalising abortion when we start to see the bump in the rise in maternal mortality and morbidity, suffering and death related to conditions that are unique to pregnancy.

for the anti—abortion protesters outside, this is a good day. it will be a day of celebration for me, though we will not fully celebrate until abortion is eradicated fully from our land, until little rock family planning services, for example, is closed down, and does not reopen, then we can celebrate for sure. they will continue their fight, but the supreme court's ruling will fundamentally change the course of the lives of all the women who pass the protesters every day to provide the care they did here. sophie long, bbc news, little rock, arkansas. we speak now to president of the national right to life committee in georgia whojoins us national right to life committee in georgia who joins us live from atlanta, georgia. welcome to the programme. now the court has overturned this landmark ruling of roe v wade, are you hoping that a

national law outlawing abortion could be passed by congress if republicans take control in november? think of the way our government to set up, it's not going to happen any time soon, quite frankly —— the way our government is set up. we still need 60 votes on this senate to overcome a filibuster and then you have the house of representatives that has to pass it and you have to have a president who will sign the bill so as long asjoe joe biden is in the office he is certainly not going to do that so national bill along those lines is a far way. we are speaking to us from georgia, where i believe the government is proposing that abortion should be banned after 15 weeks and perhaps up to 20 weeks. what would you think of that, if that were to become law in georgia is? i that were to become law in georgia is? ~ �* ., that were to become law in georgia is? ~' �* ., ., , ., is? i think we're going to see a variety of _ is? i think we're going to see a variety of laws _ is? i think we're going to see a variety of laws passed - is? i think we're going to see a variety of laws passed in - is? i think we're going to see a variety of laws passed in the i variety of laws passed in the various states. some of the going to protect all unborn children, some of the states are going to protect no

that we are not after the women, we are not interested in penalising them. we want to save babies, we want to work with the mums and encourage them to choose life, and offer them the support that they would need at various points throughout the pregnancy or after birth, but there is no way we are going up to the women who are seeking an abortion. —— going after death. seeking an abortion. -- going after death. ~ _, , ., seeking an abortion. -- going after death. ~ , ., ., death. when it comes to that intensely _ death. when it comes to that intensely personal _ death. when it comes to that intensely personal decision . death. when it comes to that i intensely personal decision how death. when it comes to that - intensely personal decision how did we come to a point where 50 years ago the supreme court decided abortion was something to be decided between her a woman and her doctor now the cut is taken away constitutional right? abortion was never a constitutional _ constitutional right? abortion was never a constitutional right. - never a constitutional right. abortion is not in the us constitution and up until 1973 almost every state in the country did not allow abortion or allowed it only in very limited circumstances. the 1973 court decision was the aberration in the court today

corrected that grievous error. we have not allowed abortion for most of the history of our country and i believe what they did today was the right thing to do.— right thing to do. where would you stand on anti _ right thing to do. where would you stand on anti abortion _ right thing to do. where would you stand on anti abortion pills? - right thing to do. where would you j stand on anti abortion pills? would you think it would be all right for women in, say, alabama or mr pitt think he can have an abortion in those states to receive an abortion pill that was mailed from out of state and use that, if that was their choice?— state and use that, if that was their choice? ~ . ~ , ., , their choice? what i think people don't necessarily _ their choice? what i think people don't necessarily grasp _ their choice? what i think people don't necessarily grasp or- don't necessarily grasp or understand is that every time an abortion is committed, and unborn child, a living human being, it is killed. so, no, i'm not going to support sending pills into a woman's home so that she can kill her unborn child in what could be a very dangerous process for her. these pills are going to cause cramping, haemorrhaging, many of these women are going to end up in the emergency

room because they did not have a physical exam the pills and they are... it is a dangerous option and so i would encourage every woman not to do it, to save her life, save her baby's life, and let us help her to the situation. just make through that situation. {line the situation. just make through that situation.— the situation. just make through that situation. ., ,, , that situation. one of the supreme court justices _ that situation. one of the supreme courtjustices in _ that situation. one of the supreme courtjustices in his _ that situation. one of the supreme courtjustices in his opinion - that situation. one of the supreme courtjustices in his opinion on - courtjustices in his opinion on this ruling suggested the court should look again at contraception. is contraception something that you think should be available to all women or not? i think should be available to all women or not?— think should be available to all women or not? ., �* , women or not? i don't believe there is a sinale women or not? i don't believe there is a single state _ women or not? i don't believe there is a single state in _ women or not? i don't believe there is a single state in this _ women or not? i don't believe there is a single state in this country - is a single state in this country thatis is a single state in this country that is going to do anything to limit contraception. that is not on the table. that's just not going to happen. the table. that's 'ust not going to ha en. ., ., the table. that's 'ust not going to hauen. ., ., the table. that's 'ust not going to ha en, ., ., ., ~' the table. that's 'ust not going to hauen. . ., . happen. carol tobias, thank you so much forjoining — happen. carol tobias, thank you so much forjoining us _ happen. carol tobias, thank you so much forjoining us their _ happen. carol tobias, thank you so much forjoining us their phone - much forjoining us their phone georgia. with me now is the founder of an international organisation

this and are going to be harmed by it are those who do not have access to that disposable income or means of transport or do not have the time so in numbers that means, you know, thatis so in numbers that means, you know, that is going to be mostly black women who are disproportionately affected both by economic disparity but also racial injustice, so when states that, you know, moving towards criminalising access to abortion or seeking abortion, that really puts that particular group the most at risk, so we, you know, banning abortion never stops abortion. just like taking away contraception doesn't take domecq stop people from having sex. that is never work. what it does is it put abortion in the hands of people who are desperate to get it and people export that so you have unsafe abortions and i think 45% of all induced abortions according the un are unsafe abortions. itruiiiiii

heard from president biden that, you know, this is going to be on the ballot in november where, really, i think this is the kind of issue that cannot wait until november and i really hope that the white house can do something tangible right now to support those who need to have access to abortion care right now, with material support, and vapour text that dialogue that is going to be happening and, you know, we have some really, really great examples from different parts of the world. we have eight examples from latin america, argentina, ireland. we have seen how these issues can be turned in places where we thought we would never be able to overturn them. the units itself, you know, with those of the weight when it first came about just like the of the weight when it first came aboutjust like the us, itself, you know, with roe v wade when it first came about. we have a long road ahead and we should absolutely fight this at every place and chance we get because it is about the safety of people to get their own lives...

make decisions about the future. dimension president biden who when he spoke today said it would be directing his health department to make medication available to women. what will you be doing to try to support the availability of anti—abortion pills for women in states where abortion is outlawed? my states where abortion is outlawed? my abortion work for survivors of gender—based violence, people who experience domestic recent sexual violence, and a lot of those people, you know,... have pregnancies they do not want to continue with. so then this has... this is like going to perform in your personal life and thenit to perform in your personal life and then it is a state level, so we will be supporting them with care and trauma support that we do to our programmes. there are amazing, amazing abortion care centres and networks in the us that are working on both the vision of medication, therapy, counselling, support, funds, so i think, you know, we should all be putting money in towards helping whether it is the

states job to do this i think even if the states that a banning disk, the federal level, there should be funding for these people who want to make the journey. a little earlier, to someone who was a supreme courtjustice and to one of the dissenting liberal opinions today. i’m of the dissenting liberal opinions toda. �* , , , of the dissenting liberal opinions toda. , ,, of the dissenting liberal opinions toda. today. i'm surprised because we saw the leaked draft _ today. i'm surprised because we saw the leaked draft in _ today. i'm surprised because we saw the leaked draft in may _ today. i'm surprised because we saw the leaked draft in may that - today. i'm surprised because we saw the leaked draft in may that was - the leaked draft in may that was very similar under the same thing but i wasn't surprised by the content of that draft either where we have had justices in the majority here have have made it very clear for a long time that their views about the body of law that led to roe, they think it was wrongly decided on the first place, they think that casey was wrongly decided

and they have not shown a whole lot of respect for president. despite what they have said in the confirmation hearings, they certainly never promised that they wouldn't revisit settled precedent and what we have seen most recently from them is a series of opinions in which they have refused to apply settled law in any situation in which it would lead to allowing women to have abortions, in particular thinking about the texas law sb eight that allows any individual to shoot somebody for helping another person to obtain an abortion. —— to sue somebody. there was really no justification for not stopping that law other than that they were unwilling to allow roe and casey to have effect. 50 they were unwilling to allow roe and casey to have effect.— casey to have effect. so there is no loner casey to have effect. so there is no longer federally _ casey to have effect. so there is no longer federally and _ longer federally and constitutionally guaranteed right to abortion now we going to have even more battles in states states where abortion is illegal and there are

attempts to try giving women access to abortion pills? just attempts to try giving women access to abortion pills?— to abortion pills? just untold numbers of— to abortion pills? just untold numbers of types _ to abortion pills? just untold numbers of types of - to abortion pills? just untold numbers of types of battles | to abortion pills? just untold - numbers of types of battles that we are going to be seeing moving forward. the landscape we had right now, as a decision, is that in about half of the states abortion is either completely illegal or extraordinarily restricted and in about half the states there are some protections from abortion. some states are going to try to do things like make it illegalfor their states to travel to another state for the purpose of obtaining an abortion orfor a resident for the purpose of obtaining an abortion or for a resident of the state to help somebody to do that. some states are going to try to make it illegal to have abortion pills travel through the mail, which i think is going to be a big issue for federal power. some states, some people are going to try to get converse to act. the anti—abortion movement is suddenly invested in having a national law that outlaws

abortion nationwide and that is going to be a significant national political battle going forward. 0n the other side, of course, people who support women's right to control their bodies will want congress to pass a law protecting women's rights to control their bodies so we're going to see a lot of extremely contentious legislation of attempts to legislate at the state level and at the federal level. we to legislate at the state level and at the federal level.— to legislate at the state level and at the federal level. we are hearing that president _ at the federal level. we are hearing that president biden _ at the federal level. we are hearing that president biden is _ at the federal level. we are hearing that president biden is going - at the federal level. we are hearing that president biden is going to - that president biden is going to speak in about an hour. asked by supporters earlier in the week what response would be to the ruling like this we were looking at whether there are any executive actions he could take, but in practical terms, is there anything, legally, the president can do on this onei is there anything, legally, the president can do on this onei think there are probably _ president can do on this onei think there are probably some _ president can do on this onei think there are probably some things . president can do on this onei think| there are probably some things the president can do although i have to admit i haven't studied it closely. suddenly the president of executive branch do things like ensure that the post office can continue to

abortion pills. the president and branch might be able to do the regulatory authority to require health care providers who receive medicare medicaid funding, which is ourfederal health care medicare medicaid funding, which is our federal health care programmes, to continue to provide abortions and states cannot stop them from doing that. the executive branch may be able to regret do might designate certain federally in facilities or federally owned land as places where women and others can receive abortions, but that is not... none of that is really completely clear right now and that is another area where we see a lot of contentious mess and loss of litigation going forward. , , , mess and loss of litigation going forward. , , ., ., , forward. just tell us about, really, how this court _ forward. just tell us about, really, how this court is _ forward. just tell us about, really, how this court is reshaping - forward. just tell us about, really, i how this court is reshaping american

life. yesterday, there was a significant ruling from the court expanding the right to bear arms in public. now, the court has overturned the constitutional federal right to an abortion that has existed for almost 50 years. this is pretty extraordinary stuff, isn't it, in terms of the supreme court and its impact on america? it is dramatic and i don't think the justices themselves and those in authority appreciate the implications notjust the country and for the course itself. this is going to place the cult squarely in the middle of significant political debates and it is going to leave to people really questioning the court, whether the court is constituted the way americans think it should be, whether it is time for some types of court reform. i think it is triggering a set of reactions that we have, quite frankly, can't and

complacent and ever take these rights for granted and we can all of us involved in pro—choice advocacy need to make sure that the pro—choice voices are with her because the issues we need to remember in the states ensure actually all those opinions pull show this is a pro—choice country in 60% of americans fundamentally support abortions and women's access to abortion. we always need to make sure that those silent voices are heard, that people do stand up on this and, as i say, if there is something for us all to learn on this it is that we can never, ever be complacent on this issue. clare murh , be complacent on this issue. clare murphy. speaking _ be complacent on this issue. clare murphy, speaking to _ be complacent on this issue. clare murphy, speaking to us _ be complacent on this issue. clare murphy, speaking to us earlier. the some context on this historic ruling we can bring and achieve north american corresponding anthony zurcher nrdc studio and what is your assessment on this sweeping decision

challenged in court in particular political dispute within the states and this is really something we have not seen on a moral issue since the civil war. fin not seen on a moral issue since the civil war. ., , , not seen on a moral issue since the civilwar. . , , , civil war. on a purely practical level, civil war. on a purely practical level. does — civil war. on a purely practical level, does a _ civil war. on a purely practical level, does a woman's - civil war. on a purely practical level, does a woman's access| civil war. on a purely practical. level, does a woman's access to abortion now literally depend on which state she lives in america? it does. almost instantly. i am just reading aborts out —— reports out of wisconsin which had an abortion ban on its books dating back to the 19th century where planned parenthood clinics throughout the state of closed. they said they had about 70 abortion scheduled for today, conducted four of them and then had to shut down after the roe v wade decision came through and had to try and find ways of getting the women who are seeking abortion in the state transported to, say, illinois where abortion is still legal. in the blink of an eye, states like texas and missouri and mississippi now abortion is illegal. that is

what happened and that is how quickly of this has happened and abortion clinics, anti—abortion activists, abortion rights advocates, they are all scrambling, even though they knew this was coming down the pike, bass rambling to keep up. coming down the pike, bass rambling to kee u.~ ., coming down the pike, bass rambling tokee--u.~ . ., coming down the pike, bass rambling tokee--u.~ . ~ to keep up. what impact do you think this is going — to keep up. what impact do you think this is going to _ to keep up. what impact do you think this is going to have _ to keep up. what impact do you think this is going to have a _ to keep up. what impact do you think this is going to have a november's i this is going to have a november's mid—term elections? the speaker of the house nancy pelosi so that women's reproductive white, crichton out on the ballot. if this could be tricky for republicans? —— women's reproductive rights are now on the ballot. , _, , ., reproductive rights are now on the ballot. , , ., ., ballot. this could be not good for republicans _ ballot. this could be not good for republicans hoping _ ballot. this could be not good for republicans hoping to _ ballot. this could be not good for republicans hoping to make - ballot. this could be not good for. republicans hoping to make sizable gains in the polls. joe biden was struggling with approval ratings. anything that brings to mind into politics if you must before a midterm election is not good for the party that thinks it was going to be doing well. how it all plays out

will be difficult to predict and obviously conservatives have been doted on abortion for the supreme court for decades nowjust might court for decades now just might have court for decades nowjust might have been voting on abortion. if you look at liberals and democrats it is not as high on their mind when they go to the polls because abortion was protected under roe v wade. now it is will they pay more attention? legality will be determined in state and not in a court run by washington, dc so they will they pay more attention to state representatives? it is not impossible but is difficult to addicts. ., ~' impossible but is difficult to addicts. ., " , addicts. here in new york city where i am the addicts. here in new york city where i am the mayor— addicts. here in new york city where i am the mayor has _ addicts. here in new york city where i am the mayor has said _ addicts. here in new york city where i am the mayor has said that - addicts. here in new york city where i am the mayor has said that new. i am the mayor has said that new york will be a safe harbour state for women who are seeking an abortion can come here. already we are seeing a patchwork of responses, as anthony was saying. in missouri, that state has moved already to make abortion visually illegal. this is a

seismic day in america and the united —— virtually illegal. the united —— virtually illegal. the united states has overturned the federal right to abortion and sent theissue federal right to abortion and sent the issue back to the states. thank you for watching bbc news. not a straightforward story out there to tell, today. yes, some of us have had some blue sky and sunshine. take a look at east sussex early on. also had from threatening skies and a few sharp and re—downpours as well. we had heavy rain and bad for the show as passed though. they are fairly isolated but this is where we have still got some humidity to going off of thundery downpours. they are pushing their way steadily northwards and that is where they will continue to move over the next few hours. if you isolated showers across the midlands and the south east. more persistent rain into the south—west and that is a massive dominant weather front that moves in and it is a cold front gradually

includes sonic... gives its way steadily enough take on the shelves of that as well. we will start of saturday morning with some showers and the far north, temperatures widely into double figures but as i say we're going to lose that humidity. it is going to be a dry, settle, sunny south many, a few showers drifting up from the south—west through the day and some of those will filter a little bit further in and certainly stronger winds assert atomic further west you are, closer to this area of low pressure anchored to the west of ireland. in terms of the feel of the weather, 16—18 and exposed west coates, coasts, may be highs of 22 with a little more shelter and the sunshine. fingers crossed the cricket will stay largely dry and cannot rule out a shower and on the whole it will be largely fine and dry and there is a greater chance of seeing such showers for glastonbury on saturday but there will be some sunshine and showers so it will be of vitalfor any means. sunshine and showers so it will be of vital for any means. as we move

toward sunday that area low pressure is still there and in actual fact we could see more persistent rain moving into western fringes and, yes, another windy day with it as well so they will be able wetter weather perhaps across south—west england and wales and across the close as well. is salted eastern areas could state rice for longest and maybe east anglia down into the south—east corner try altogether with high tier of 23 degrees. as we move out of sunday into next week it looks likely we are going to be continue to settle at times once in the driest and brightest weather in the driest and brightest weather in the south.

this is bbc world news with the headlines. the us supreme court ends the constitutional right to have an abortion. it means the landmark roe versus wade dating back to 50 years has been overturned. this will transform abortion rights in america with individual states now able to ban or restrict the procedure. critics say the ruling is a major setback and a woman's right to choose. president biden and other senior democrats have strongly condemned the decision. the court literally taken _ condemned the decision. the court literally taken america _ condemned the decision. the court literally taken america back - condemned the decision. the court literally taken america back 150 i literally taken america back 150 years. this is a sad day for the country, in my view. and it does not

mean the fight is over.
