Roe vs Wade: Abortion rights rollback ‘could just be beginning’, protestors warn

2022-06-27 20

Women protesting the rollback of abortion rights in America following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade have warned that this “could just be the beginning”.

Judges made a historic ruling to strike down the landmark 1973 court judgement which enshrined the rights of women to access abortion in the US Constitution on Friday, June 24.

It followed a leak of the draft decision which sparked global outrage - and was widely condemned by pro-choice groups and leaders including Boris Johnson and Barack Obama.

Rival anti-abortion and pro-choice protestors demonstrated outside the US Supreme Court in Washington D.C. following the news.

And in London, feminist activists gathered outside the American embassy, in Nine Elms, Wandsworth, in a show of solidarity.
