LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of people marched through downtown Los Angeles on Saturday to protest for abortion rights, the second weekend in a row that Californians have taken to the streets after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade.
At a rally outside the federal courthouse on 1st Street, speakers urged a crowd of about 200 people to march peacefully to show their anger and frustration over the rollback of federal abortion rights after 49 years.
The crowd marched down Broadway toward Pershing Square, chanting, “We won’t go back!” and “Controlling women is what they want; furious women is what they got.” Some protesters held signs that read, “Keep your hands off my body” and “Post Roe? Hell no.”
