US President Joe Biden has warned that "the health and life of women in this nation are now at risk", as he condemned the Supreme Court's "extreme" decision to overturn the right to an abortion.

Mr Biden described the move as "the realisation of an extreme ideology", one which was "literally taking America back 150 years" and would see women "punished for protecting their health".

The president spoke from the White House after the conservative-leaning court scrapped the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling that legalised abortion across the US.
