PHILADELPHIA -- More than a hundred people rallied at the National Constitution Center Saturday to protest the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe V. Wade, eliminating the federal constitutional right to an abortion.Protestors carried signs like"Get your laws off my body" and"Women will die" as they cheered on speakers, many of whom were Democratic politicians.
The Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade Friday, which had granted birth-givers the right to abortion since its passing in 1973. The crowd heard from local, state, and federal representatives, including Joanna McClinton, a democrat representing the 191st house district in Pennsylvania. "It is clear that more and more issues will likely be coming to the states in future years," said Shapiro.
