A post-Roe Arkansas reacts to the #SCOTUS abortion ruling. We've had special access to the state's last independent abortion clinic during its last days @BBCSophie @BBCr4today @BBCSounds

Arkansas Attorney General @LeslieRutledge signs the state’s trigger law into effect.

Abortion is now a criminal offense in the Arkansas.

There is no exception for rape or incest.

[Samantha Granville @sam_granville]

We spent the last 3 weeks in Arkansas’ last abortion clinic, and were there when the #scotus ruling came down today.

Utter devastation from the women who run the clinic, while protestors outside threatened to report them for murder

Our piece from the Mississippi Delta. As we wait for the ruling from #SCOTUS that could affect access to abortion for millions of Americans, we went to speak to people where critics of a ban say it will be most acutely felt. @bbcworldservice

[Samantha Granville @sam_granville]

As we wait for the monumental #SCOTUS decision on abortion access, we travelled to the Mississippi Delta- the poorest region in the poorest state- to see what the impact on women will be if Roe v Wade is overturned

Our piece on abortion, what’s happening at the Supreme Court and what it could mean for Americans. Huge thanks to all who took part and shared their deeply personal stories. #BBCOurWorld @sam_granville https://t.co/qe0BaEeWfM

@BBCHelena @sam_granville @BBCNews Fun?! There will be no fun. Rather an opportunity to benefit from my decades of journalistic and broadcasting experience. I might also allow her to be my social media manager. That's probably why Sam is so excited.
