Thousands of women gathered in the US capital on Saturday, marching through thunderous rain and possiblitily of arrest to protest over the reversal of abortion rights last month.
Abortion rights have brought a long standing debate against different citizens of many different countries. Many people do not support the ruling made by the supreme court and intend to let their voices be heard. The demonstration came two weeks after the Supreme Court repealed Roe v Wade – the ruling that had guaranteed abortion access nationwide for nearly 50 years.
At the protest, an estimated 10,000 people gathered and protested. Many chanted, “We won’t go back!”
Lauren Pierce, 33, an attorney from Dallas, was among them, traveling 1,300 miles (2,100km) to attend the demonstration. Ms. Pierce’s home state of Texas is among the 10 US states where abortion has already been prohibited. Take, for example, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi and at least a dozen other states are expected to follow. However, non-abortion canpainors see abortion as “murder” and celebrated the courts decision.
