Weekend protests over the Supreme Court's abortion ruling. Some states plan to enforce abortion bans. Ukraine -- in the spotlight at the G-7 Summit. Correspondent Steve Kathan has the CBS World News Roundup for Monday, June 27, 2022:
The Supreme Court ruling has convulsed the country; passing the question of abortion rights to the states will divide America yet further. We ask what it means for the court to go so plainly against public opinion, examine the woeful effects the changing scenario will have on women and speak to one woman whose life was saved by a now-threatened procedure.

We're talking about a major Supreme Court decision and what's happened in the days since the ruling was announced.
Also, the bipartisan gun safety bill is officially law, and the G7 summit is happening now.
Plus, why the Juul ban has been put on hold, what a new report says about Apple devices coming soon, and which sports team went from being the worst in the league a few years ago to winning the national championship.
Thirty years after his confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Clarence Thomas continues to have a profound influence on American law and culture—evident again with last week's landmark rulings.
A new book, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," gives readers access to hours of the exclusive content from the justice himself. Building on the success of a PBS documentary by the same name, the book chronicles Thomas' amazing life and includes unreleased conversations with his wife Ginni Thomas.
Filmmaker Michael Pack, who produced the "Created Equal" documentary, and Mark Paoletta, a personal friend and lawyer who worked with Thomas during his Supreme Court confirmation, join "The Daily Signal Podcast" to share their favorite stories from the book.

Omar Little, Jimmy McNulty, Stringer Bell, Snot Boogie. If you recognize these names, you are probably a fan of the HBO series The Wire.
This month marks 20 years since the series premiere. It ran for five seasons, following the lives of the cops, criminals, political players, and everyday folks caught up in Baltimore's often futile war on drugs.
Many argue that The Wire is the best television show ever created and has earned praise for its realistic, humanizing, multi-dimensional portrayal of Black characters. But 20 years on, the conversation about policing in Black communities has changed. The deaths of Freddie Gray, George Floyd, and many others after encounters with police and the rise of the Black Lives Matter Movement have brought about more public scrutiny, debate, and criticism of the police.
As social commentary, is The Wire still relevant? We speak with NPR TV critic Eric Deggans and Ronda Racha Penrice, editor of the essay collection, Cracking The Wire During Black Lives Matter.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
In this edition of the “Weekly Recap,” NLW argues that this week saw the crypto community settling into the bear market. He looks at why both the macro landscape and crypto’s recent string of problems could be the beginning of a longer lull.

After her abortion, Harris says she felt "immediate regret, immediate just grief that fell upon me."
"I wasn't really sure what to do with it, where to put it," she recalls. "A lot of people, friends of mine had continued to tell me that's not a baby, just get over it, move on and I couldn't."
Harris joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe v. Wade and what the decision means for the pro-life movement.
