Tens of thousands of people took to the streets Saturday in cities across the country, including Philadelphia, in support of abortion rights.
People protested the leaked draft decision by the Supreme Court, which indicates the court is on the brink of overturning Roe v. Wade.
In the nation's capital, thousands gathered in drizzly weather at the Washington Monument to listen to fiery speeches before marching to the Supreme Court, which was surrounded by two layers of security fences. A half-dozen anti-abortion demonstrators sent out a countering message, with Jonathan Darnel shouting into a microphone,"Abortion is not health care, folks, because pregnancy is not an illness."
In New York, thousands of people gathered in Brooklyn's courthouse plaza before a march across the Brooklyn Bridge to lower Manhattan for another rally. "They've been nibbling at the edges, and it was always a matter of time before they thought they had enough power on the Supreme Court, which they have now," said Seidon, 65.
