Hundreds of abortion rights supporters gathered in anger at the US Supreme Court after an unprecedented leak showed a majority of justices poised to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
Within hours of Politico’s publication on Monday of an initial draft opinion that would overturn the landmark decision, a crowd was calling on Democrats in Congress to take action to protect access to abortion, while decrying a possible ruling that would take away what they see as a fundamental right.
“Justices get out of my vagina,” one sign held aloft read. “I love someone who had an abortion,” read another. “Abortion is healthcare,” abortion rights supporters chanted back. Chants of “Do something Democrats,” also broke out.
