Dozens of abortion rights supporters rally against a Texas judge's decision to reverse the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval of the abortion pill mifepristone outside the Supreme Court, in Washington, DC. On Friday, the nation's highest court temporarily preserved access to mifepristone, in an 11th-hour ruling preventing lower court restrictions on the drug from coming into force. IMAGES

Missouri's attorney general Eric Schmitt announces that his state will be the first "to effectively end abortion" in the United States, after the conservative-dominated Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 "Roe v. Wade" decision that enshrined a woman's right to an abortion, saying that individual states can now permit or restrict the procedure themselves. "I pledge to continue to fight for our most fundamental right: the right to life," Schmitt says in a video statement posted to social media. SOUNDBITE
