About 200 people gathered in Federal Plaza Saturday afternoon for a second day of protests over the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which set the stage for abortion to be banned in many states.

Dina Ninfo, a lawyer and member of the activist group Chicago for Abortion Rights, which organized the second day of demonstrations, called the decision “extremely dangerous.”
