After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, holding that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion, protesters and supporters of the ruling gathered at the high court's building in Washington, DC, and in other cities nationwide.
Similar demonstrations are planned across the country over the weekend, according to CNN's research. Organizations like Planned Parenthood, Bans Off Our Bodies and Women's March are among the groups organizing the events.
Protests took place outside the Supreme Court
In the nation's capital, one person led protesters in front of the Supreme Court in a chant of "Hands off! Hands off!" and a call-and-response of "My body! My choice!"
One woman told CNN affiliate WJLA that the decision was an outrage.
"It's illegitimate. Abortion bans are illegitimate," the woman said. "Forced motherhood is illegitimate."
Protesters asked those in attendance to donate to abortion advocates and purchase abortion pills to distribute to others."
They haven't seemed to understand the absolute anger & outrage that this will cause, & protesters are not going to shut the hell up about it because this is far too important for anyone to just let it slide.
Those opposed are happy that women will now be forced to give birth regardless of their circumstances, but their country isn't likely to provide adequate education, housing or healthcare for the resulting babies born because they're only interested on the foetus/embryo, & obliging to continue an unwanted pregnancy, not the actual children.
