US President Joe Biden on Friday said that the federal government would protect women travelling to get abortions. 
On June 24, the Supreme Court in US overturned its 50-year-old Roe v Wade judgement. This decision has taken away the constitutional right to abortion of millions of women in the country. It has also paved the way for states to create their own legislations to ban the procedure. 
Women in states where abortion will be completely banned or restricted will be forced to cross states borders to areas in the country where abortion is still legal. 
There are a number of ways through which the law will be able to persecute people going for abortions. Individuals who will aid women to get abortions will also come under the scanner, reports say. 
Addressing a virtual meet with Democratic state governors, Biden said that he believed some US states would attempt to arrest women who cross states for availing abortion. 
"I don't think people believe that's going to happen. But it's going to happen," he said.
The president also ensured access to medications that aid in abortions in states where they are prohibited. 
But the government's intervention will lead to more legal problems that might even get the Supreme Cout involved. A political science expert told the BBC that these legal woes will particularly arise if states have a reason to believe that the federal government is working to undermine state laws. 
Thirteen states have already restricted or banned abortion since the court's decision last week. 
The question that is on the public's mind is when will the federal government restore the abortion rights? 
The President has said that Democratic victories in the mid-term elections would give Congress the power to restore the federal abortion rights. This will happen only after November, one way or another, he added. 
Supreme Court's decision to overturn its own judgement while was anticipated still shocked the country. Roe V Wade ensured that pregnant women were entitled to an abortion during the first three months of their pregnancy, while allowing for legal restrictions and bans in the second and third trimester.

Abortion rights advocates staged protests Friday in several major cities around the country.
Protests were taking place in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as in Chicago, Seattle and other cities.
In New York and Los Angeles, people chanted, "Rise up for abortion rights."
The protest came on the day that the U.S. Supreme Court issued a highly charged decision that ends constitutional protections to abortion nearly 50 years after Roe v. Wade made abortion legal.

The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday's outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.
The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.
The ruling came more than a month after the stunning leak of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito indicating the court was prepared to take this momentous step.
It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.

US Supreme Court strikes down abortion rights

The US Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority. 

It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving abortion rights, according to opinion polls.

The US Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday's outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.
The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.
The ruling came more than a month after the stunning leak of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito indicating the court was prepared to take this momentous step.
It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.
Alito, in the final opinion issued Friday, wrote that Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to abortion, were wrong the day they were decided and must be overturned.
&ldquo;We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision,&rdquo; Alito wrote.
Authority to regulate abortion rests with the political branches, not the courts, Alito wrote.
Joining Alito were Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. The latter three justices are Trump appointees. Thomas first voted to overrule Roe 30 years ago.
Chief Justice John Roberts would have stopped short of ending the abortion right, noting that he would have upheld the Mississippi law at the heart of the case, a ban on abortion after 15 weeks, and said no more.
Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan &mdash; the diminished liberal wing of the court &mdash; were in dissent.
&ldquo;With sorrow&mdash;for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection&mdash;we dissent,&rdquo; they wrote.
The ruling is expected to disproportionately affect minority women who already face limited access to health care, according to statistics analysed by The Associated Press.
Thirteen states, mainly in the South and Midwest, already have laws on the books that ban abortion in the event Roe is overturned. Another half-dozen states have near-total bans or prohibitions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.
In roughly a half-dozen other states, the fight will be over dormant abortion bans that were enacted before Roe was decided in 1973 or new proposals to sharply limit when abortions can be performed, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.
More than 90% of abortions take place in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy, and more than half are now done with pills, not surgery, according to data compiled by Guttmacher.
The decision came against a backdrop of public opinion surveys that find a majority of Americans oppose overturning Roe and handing the question of whether to permit abortion entirely to the states. Polls conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and others also have consistently shown about 1 in 10 Americans want abortion to be illegal in all cases. A majority are in favour of abortion being legal in all or most circumstances, but polls indicate many also support restrictions especially later in pregnancy.
The Biden administration and other defenders of abortion rights have warned that a decision overturning Roe also would threaten other high court decisions in favor of gay rights and even potentially, contraception.
The liberal justices made the same point in their joint dissent: The majority &ldquo;eliminates a 50-year-old constitutional right that safeguards women's freedom and equal station. It breaches a core rule-of-law principle, designed to promote constancy in the law. In doing all of that, it places in jeopardy other rights, from contraception to same-sex intimacy and marriage. And finally, it undermines the Court's legitimacy.&rdquo; But Alito contended that his analysis addresses abortion only. &ldquo;Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,&rdquo; he wrote.
Whatever the intentions of the person who leaked Alito's draft opinion, the conservatives held firm in overturning Roe and Casey.
In his draft, Alito dismissed the arguments in favor of retaining the two decisions, including that multiple generations of American women have partly relied on the right to abortion to gain economic and political power.
Changing the composition of the court has been central to the anti-abortion side's strategy. Mississippi and its allies made increasingly aggressive arguments as the case developed, and two high-court defenders of abortion rights retired or died. The state initially argued that its law could be upheld without overruling the court's abortion precedents.
Then-Gov. Phil Bryant signed the 15-week measure into law in March 2018, when Justices Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg were still members of a five-justice majority that was mainly protective of abortion rights.
By early summer, Kennedy had retired and was replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh a few months later. The Mississippi law was blocked in lower federal courts.
But the state always was headed to the nation's highest court. It did not even ask for a hearing before a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ultimately held the law invalid in December 2019.
By early September 2020, the Supreme Court was ready to consider the state's appeal.
The court scheduled the case for consideration at the justices' private conference on Sept. 29. But in the intervening weeks, Ginsburg died and Barrett was quickly nominated and confirmed without a single Democratic vote.
The stage now was set, although it took the court another half year to agree to hear the case.
By the time Mississippi filed its main written argument with the court in the summer, the thrust of its argument had changed and it was now calling for the wholesale overruling of Roe and Casey.
The first sign that the court might be receptive to wiping away the constitutional right to abortion came in late summer, when the justices divided 5-4 in allowing Texas to enforce a ban on the procedure at roughly six weeks, before some women even know they are pregnant. That dispute turned on the unique structure of the law, including its enforcement by private citizens rather than by state officials, and how it can be challenged in court.
But Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted in a searing dissent for the three liberal justices that their conservative colleagues refused to block &ldquo;a flagrantly unconstitutional law&rdquo; that &ldquo;flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents.&rdquo; Roberts was also among the dissenters.
Then in December, after hearing additional arguments over whether to block the Texas law known as S.B. 8, the court again declined to do so, also by a 5-4 vote. &ldquo;The clear purpose and actual effect of S. B. 8 has been to nullify this Court's rulings,&rdquo; Roberts wrote, in a partial dissent.
In their Senate hearings, Trump's three high-court picks carefully skirted questions about how they would vote in any cases, including about abortion.
But even as Democrats and abortion rights supporters predicted Kavanaugh and Gorsuch would vote to upend abortion rights if confirmed, the two left at least one Republican senator with a different impression. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine predicted Gorsuch and Kavanaugh wouldn't support overturning the abortion cases, based on private conversations she had with them when they were nominees to the Supreme Court.
Barrett was perhaps the most vocal opponent of abortion in her time as a law professor, before becoming a federal judge in 2017. She was a member of anti-abortion groups at Notre Dame University, where she taught law, and she signed a newspaper ad opposing &ldquo;abortion on demand&rdquo; and defending &ldquo;the right to life from fertilisation to natural death.&rdquo; She promised to set aside her personal views when judging cases.
Trump, meanwhile, had predicted as a candidate that whoever he named to the court would &ldquo;automatically&rdquo; vote to overrule Roe.&nbsp;
