Abortion is arguably the most divisive issue in US politics and with a Supreme Court seat now vacant, the stakes have never been higher.
With President Trump in the White House, and following the death of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, anti-abortion activists are energised.
Republican-controlled states have tightened restrictions on abortion in recent years.
And there is a brewing political battle over whether Mr Trump should seek to fill the Supreme Court vacancy with a conservative judge prior to the 3 November election.
Activists are concerned it could put in peril the landmark 1973 ruling that legalised abortion nationwide.
Yet public support for abortion rights is the highest in decades, according to the Pew Research Center.
