Following the recent decision by the US Supreme Court to repeal women's constitutional right to have an abortion, it seems the six conservative judges on the bench now have a number of other social and political issues in their sights.

Advocates for LGBTIQA+, free press, firearms restrictions and much more are bracing for attacks on their rights, as those six extremely powerful individuals seem determined to drag America back into the dark ages.

The Quicky speaks to a human rights law expert and a journalist who has spent decades researching and reporting on the United States, to find out what other aspects of American rights and freedoms are now seriously at risk.
