Good morning. Anger has flared across the US after the supreme court overturned Roe v Wade. New census data will show how Covid changed Australia. And 22 young people have been found dead at a bar and nightclub in South Africa.
Protests against a supreme court decision that overturned abortion rights have continued across the US this weekend. In New York, thousands marched to voice their anger at the ruling that came at the end of a dizzying week surrounding not just reproductive rights but also gun carry laws and the US Capitol attack. “Not your uterus, not your choice,” many shouted at demonstrations in Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta and Austin. In Providence, Rhode Island, tempers flared so much that an off-duty police officer was accused of punching a woman at an abortion protest.
