US President Joe Biden criticises the Supreme Court ruling overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on abortion, saying the health and life of American women are now at risk
About half of the US states are moving immediately to either ban or severely restrict abortion, responding to decades of activism by the what is known as the"pro-life" movement.
"It's a sad day for the court and for the country," Biden said in a White House address after Friday's ruling struck down decades of constitutional protection of abortion. Biden made a point of calling for any protests to remain peaceful. "No intimidation. Violence is never acceptable," he said.
