jun 24, 2022 - Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade

Description:

Abortion rights activists across the country are sending a clear message after the overturn of Roe v. Wade: They’re not backing down.

From Minnesota to California to Florida, more than a dozen protests are planned Monday to denounce the Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate the nearly 50-year-old federal constitutional right to have an abortion.

The fallout was swift: At least 10 states have effectively banned abortion since Friday’s ruling. And 26 states have laws indicating they could outlaw or set extreme limits on abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.
