constitutional protections for abortion that women have had for nearly 50 years. and now leaving it up to states to decide whether abortion should be legal within their borders. at least 26 states are either boysed to or have already banned abortion. the ruling cheered by anti-abortion supporters after decades fighting but a broad majority of americans disagreeing with that ruling. in a cnn poll conducted weeks ago, 66% of americans did not want the supreme court to completely overturn roe v. wade. cnn has reporters on ground covering this seismic decision. let s go first to cnn s joe johns outside of the u.s. supreme court where i know it is very noisy and a lot people there. what are you seeing? reporter: it is noisy, fred. and we have seen a lot of clanting, a bit of confrontation because there have been people here on both sides of this issue. yelling at each other. it is largely peaceful. talking to people in the crowd, you get a real sense of what brought them and the
the scene there to disperse demonstrators. in eugene, oregon, a crowd got rowdy. they used pepper spray to break up the crowd and arrested ten people. as of now 13 states have trigger laws banning abortions in light of this ruling and an abortion ban is already in effect in at least six states. let s go to some of the protests. polo sandoval in new york. and let s go to joe johns first outside the supreme court. i know it s been very busy outside the supreme court, joe. what are you seeing right now? reporter: it is, jim. this crowd has just built and built and built throughout the afternoon. let s take a look at the large number of people here in front of the united states supreme court. the speakers expressing everything from anger and shock and fear about the future, of course, the vast majority of the people here are supporters of abortion rights. there were a few people who were opponents of abortion rights, but they got into what you call verbal altercations with some
