Millions of women in the US will lose the constitutional right to abortion, after the Supreme Court overturned a 50-year-old ruling today that legalised it.

The supreme court has ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion in the country, upending a precedent in the landmark Roe v Wade case – a rare reversal of long-settled law that will fracture the foundations of modern reproductive rights in America.
