Abortion rights protests start across the US after Roe v. wade overturned


WASHINGTON – A sea of ​​protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court Friday, one of many rallies planned across the country after a historically consequential ruling from the high court ended the constitutional right to abortion.

An emotional crowd of hundreds carried signs and chanted “My body, my choice” at the steps of the Supreme Court as they grappled with news that the landmark Roe v. Wade’s decision was struck down after five decades.

Similar crowds took over city streets and marched in cities large and small, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and New York City.

Amid the protests, some anti-abortion activists heralded the day as a cause for celebration. Some even rally outside abortion clinics and sparred with protesters.

President Joe Biden said the ruling puts women across the country in danger, but asked for those who gather in protest to remain peaceful.
