As soon as the ruling was announced and the blow we’d been bracing for landed, protests erupted across the country
Photo: Michelle Gustafson Yesterday, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in a devastating decision that will rob millions of people — many of them already among the country’s most vulnerable — of their bodily autonomy, right to health care, and well-being. The news came as a shock, but certainly not as a surprise. And so, as soon as the ruling was announced and the blow we’d been bracing for landed, protests erupted across the country.
At 12:30 p.m., President Biden urged peaceful protesting as a horde of snipers and riot squads marched in. At one point, a group of House Democrats placidly sang “God Bless America” on the steps of the Capitol while screaming protesters could be heard down the street. There were tears, signs pledging to “aid and abet abortion,” and even a one-man protest atop the Frederick Douglas Memorial Bridge.
