Roe vs Wade: Abortion rights rollback ‘could just be beginning’, protestors warn
- 2 years ago
Women protesting the rollback of abortion rights in America following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade have warned that this “could just be the beginning”.
Judges made a historic ruling to strike down the landmark 1973 court judgement which enshrined the rights of women to access abortion in the US Constitution on Friday, June 24.
It followed a leak of the draft decision which sparked global outrage - and was widely condemned by pro-choice groups and leaders including Boris Johnson and Barack Obama.
Rival anti-abortion and pro-choice protestors demonstrated outside the US Supreme Court in Washington D.C. following the news.
And in London, feminist activists gathered outside the American embassy, in Nine Elms, Wandsworth, in a show of solidarity.
