Following the Supreme Court’s June 24 ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, people assembled throughout the country to protest the repeal of their right to abortion.
In Washington, D.C., more than 1,000 protesters came out to the Supreme Court on June 25, the day after the 6-3 decision was announced, the Washington Post reported.
In New York City, abortion rights protestors marched in the city’s annual Pride parade on June 26.
Many protestors wore green or carried green bandanas. The color has become synonymous with abortion rights thanks to its use in feminist protests across Latin America.
In Nashville, Tennessee, hundreds of protestors demonstrated downtown. The state is one of 13 with a trigger ban, which would make abortion illegal in the state 30 days after SCOTUS’ ruling.
In Austin, Texas, where the state’s six-week abortion ban had been enforced by lawsuits from private citizens, a trigger law will soon go into effect banning abortion “from the moment of fertilization” with few exceptions.
