Next steps after Roe v. Wade overturned

The Mississippi abortion clinic at the center of the Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade says it will stay open until legislation forces it to close -- but that will come soon. Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland says states cannot ban FDA-approved abortion pills. As CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns explains, the abortion issue is taking center stage as candidates prepare for upcoming primary elections.

Roe v. Wade remains a lightning rod

Rallies for and against the Supreme Court's historic decision overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case have continued around the country. Scattered violence and vandalism have occurred. A preliminary hearing was to be held Monday in Moscow for detained WNBA star Brittney Griner. And a U.S. Navy destroyer that sank during World War II has been found off the Philippines nearly 23,000 feet down -- the deepest shipwreck ever located anywhere.

SCOTUS, abortion, and rewriting Americans' rights

In overturning its landmark decision in Roe v. Wade on Friday, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court has removed federal constitutional protections for women and turned the question of abortion rights over to state legislatures, precipitating bans on the procedure in many Republican-led states. CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford talks with law experts who say the conservative legal movement's decades-long battle to upend the right to privacy underpinning Roe will not stop with abortion; and with an anti-abortion rights advocate who believes banning abortion will benefit women.
