Yahoo Finance Police, abortion rights protesters clash in LA
STORY: The footage showed gas canisters exploding, violent clashes between police and protesters, and police detaining abortion rights activists.

The ruling is expected to dramatically change life for millions of women in America and exacerbate growing tensions in a deeply polarized country.
