This week, we're focusing on the upcoming US presidential election with the battle over abortion rights very much becoming front and centre of the campaign. It is the first election since the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022 which has dramatically impacted women's access to abortion; with 21 states now banning abortion or restricting the procedure earlier in pregnancy. Our colleagues at France 2 Television went to talk to women in several southern states seeking a termination and how they are affected by the political divisiveness. Also Annette Young talks to Holly Baxter, Executive Editor for Social Justice and Equity for The Independent who's been following the campaign closely.
