Americans grieve or celebrate Supreme Court abortion ruling

There have been both angry and jubilant reactions to the US Supreme
Court decision to overturn a landmark abortion law.

Pro-choice and pro-life campaigners both gathered outside the Court
after the justices ruled it is now up to each state to decide access
to abortion.

More than half of America's 50 states are expected to ban or severely
restrict the ability to get an abortion.
