Liam Fox's dodgy holiday: how far will the Tories ape the US hard right?
The US Christian conservative movement is in ecstasy over the blow to abortion rights and is excitedly setting its targets on gays, the unmarried and education — are Britain's own rightwingers building links? SOLOMON HUGHES investigates

FROM Britain, the US Supreme Court decision to let states ban abortion looks shocking. The US jumped back nearly 50 years when it overturned the 1973 Roe V Wade decision, with Republican-led states already banning abortions.
