Roe v Wade one year on

Roe v Wade one year on

By Sky News

Saturday 24 June marks a year since the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v Wade ruling, ending a federal right to abortion access. In 14 states, most abortions are now banned, with no exception for rape or incest in nearly all those states.

The overturning was highly controversial with more than 100 global health organisations including the British Medical Association describing it as a "catastrophic blow to the lives of millions of women, girls and pregnant people".

On the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson is joined by our US correspondent Marth Kelner to explore the impact of Roe v Wade's overturning in Tennessee, and the important role it plays in the abortion debate.
