Abortion rights for millions of women across the US could soon be overturned, according to a leaked Supreme Court document.
The document, published by Politico, suggests the top US court is in favour of overturning the Roe v Wade decision that legalised abortion nationwide.
If the Supreme Court strikes down the 1973 ruling, then abortion could be banned in almost half of US states.
Its justices are expected to issue a ruling in late June or early July.
The BBC's Richard Galpin reports.
