FROM Britain, the US Supreme Court decision to let states ban abortion looks shocking. The US jumped back nearly 50 years when it overturned the 1973 Roe V Wade decision, with Republican-led states already banning abortions.
The ban comes from the US Republicans’ hard-right turn, towards a mix of “culture war” social reaction and free-market fundamentalism.
