Pro-and anti-abortion rights activists braced for protests on Saturday, the day after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the half-century-old Roe v. Wade precedent that recognized women's constitutional right to abortion.
45th President of the United StatesWASHINGTON/JACKSON, Miss. -Hundreds of protesters descended on the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday to denounce the justices' decision to overturn the half-century-old Roe v. Wade precedent that recognized women's constitutional right to abortion.
Crowds carried posters with slogans such as "Abort SCOTUS." One protester carried a placard that said "limit guns, not women" in reference to another Supreme Court decision this week expanding gun rights. Meanwhile, a Vatican official, Andrea Tornielli, wrote in an editorial that anti-abortion activists should be concerned with other threats to life too, such as easy access to guns, poverty and rising maternity mortality rates.
"They can ask for votes for more power but don't they already have the Congress and the White House?" said Patricia Smith, a 24-year-old abortion rights supporter who went to the Supreme Court to protest. "They have not been able to pass much in terms of legislation despite the power, so what is the point?"
