Protests Erupt Across US after Supreme Court Reverses Roe v. Wade

The U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision Friday morning overturning the 1973 abortion decision Roe v. Wade, which now allows states to make their own abortion laws, and pro-life and pro-choice activists have taken to the streets in cities across the U.S. to allow their voices to be heard.
Pro-life activists showed up in U.S. cities in celebration of restrictive abortion laws that are now, or will be soon, enacted in a number of GOP-led states following the court’s decision while pro-choice demonstrators protested what they see as an attack on reproductive rights.
Outside the Supreme Court in the nation’s capital, thousands of activists, both in favor of and in opposition of the ruling, arrived with signs in support of their cause.
Pro-choice protestors began participating in chants voicing frustrations over Friday’s ruling. At one point, New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined a crowd calling the court, “Illegitimate!”
