America’s abortion divide

BBC News - Ros Atkins on ..., America’s abortion divide

Ros Atkins looks at the debate around abortion rights in the US

Ros Atkins looks at the debate around abortion rights in the US.

The US Supreme Court has heard arguments in the most important abortion case in a generation. It is the biggest challenge to a 1973 ruling that legalised abortion nationally, and could change reproductive rights in the country. Ros Atkins looks at the abortion debate in the US and asks why this case is happening now.
