LOS ANGELES — An abortion-rights rally, organized by Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, marched to a Santa Monica Planned Parenthood office Saturday in an attempt to overwhelm far-right groups planning to protest outside the medical clinic.
The anti-abortion rally, which is scheduled to take place outside the Planned Parenthood-Santa Monica Health Center, arrives nearly a month after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion nationwide.
The far-right group, AmericanMade Patriots, held a rally at Palisades Park in Santa Monica earlier this month, and on July 9, far-right groups protested outside the Santa Monica Planned Parenthood office, forcing the clinic to close early.
