Here is a look at the court's major abortion rulings.
Edward Snowden has condemned a "dangerous" package of anti-terrorism legislation passed by Russia's parliament last week, in a rare criticism of the authorities in his host country.
Mr Snowden, who fled to Russia in 2013 after exposing an surveillance programme run by the US National Security Agency (NSA), urged Vladimir Putin to reject an "unjustifiable violation of rights".
The U.S. Supreme Court is due on Monday to issue its first major abortion ruling since 2007 against a backdrop of unremitting divisions among Americans on the issue and a decades-long decline in the rate at which women terminate pregnancies.
The court’s decision on whether a Republican-backed 2013 Texas law placed an undue burden on women exercising their constitutional right to abortion is one of three remaining cases for the court to decide on Monday, the last day of its term. The other major one involves whether the justices will overturn the corruption conviction of former Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell.

As a human rights lawyer, I have been asked to write a short blog on the impact to human rights in the UK following Brexit.
The current high regard for 'so called experts' in the UK means I fully accept that the man holding the sign 'Golf Sale 100 yards on the right' will also hold a view which people should seek out and champion if they wish.
WORKMATES accused of abusing a colleague by tying him to a cross have been found not guilty of religiously aggravated assault.

During the trial it was alleged the victim also had penises drawn on him in marker pen and was paraded through a street in York after being taped to a chair.
Some of the web’s biggest destinations for watching videos have quietly started using automation to remove extremist content from their sites, according to two people familiar with the process.
The move is a major step forward for internet companies that are eager to eradicate violent propaganda from their sites and are under pressure to do so from governments around the world as attacks by extremists proliferate, from Syria to Belgium and the United States.
