US abortion supporters to hold protests over weekend

Washington, June 25 (Dumanimail) After the US Supreme Court overruled the Roe v. Wade abortion law, protests have been planned across the country over the weekend. According to CNN, organisations like Planned Parenthood, Bans Off Our Bodies and Women’s March are among the groups that will be holding the events. On Friday, after the SC’s decision the abortion rights supporters protested outside the State Capitol in Phoenix. The Arizona law enforcement used tear gas to disperse the crowd. CNN quoted Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesperson Bart Graves as saying, “Troopers deployed tear gas after a crowd of protesters repeatedly pounded on the glass doors of the State Senate Building.” The protesters then moved to the Wesley Bolin Plaza where the police used tear gas after a monument was vandalised, Graves said.
