Some protesters in San Francisco were prepared to risk arrest to draw attention to cause.
SAN FRANCISCO – Chanting for “legal abortion on demand,” thousands of people took to Bay Area streets Friday night to protest the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade.
Abortion rights demonstrators protest outside the San Francisco City Hall after the Supreme Court overturned the abortion rights case Roe v. Wade on Friday, June 24, 2022, in San Francisco, Calif. Members of March for Our Lives joined several abortion-rights groups spoke at the protest, which was organized by the National Movement for Reproductive Rights. Many held signs saying “abortion saves human lives,” and “I wish I could abort my government.
“I’ve always held onto this belief we were making gradual progress,” McMurry said. “Days like this really shake that belief.” Now working as a therapist, Valentine said that not feeling in control of your own body can lead to a sense of doom and anxiety that doesn’t fade. But if people try to only work past those negative emotions, Valentine fears they will instead become numb to this type of news – fueling her motivation to protest outside San Jose City Hall.
