A downtown Chicago protest was held near Federal Plaza as the US Supreme Court could overturn Roe v Wade and allow restrictive abortion laws.

CHICAGO -- Hundreds of people descended upon downtown in support of abortion rights. They took to the streets and marched in the Loop, channeling their rage, they say, into action.to overturn Roe v. Wade people across the country and in Chicago have been mobilizing.

"As a proud Union nurse, I understand that reproductive care and abortion is a central health care," said National Nurses United-Chicago Vice President Martese Chism."We know that the ones who will suffer the most are the very young, people of color, and people of limited means," said Chicago NOW President Gina Rozman-Wendle.

The ruling has been in place since 1973. If overturned, it will leave millions of pregnant women across the country without the option to get an abortion. "Chicago, are you ready for the fight?" said Gov. JB Pritzker."In Illinois you are safe and we must do everything in our power to keep it that way. So I ask again, are you ready for the fight?"

Organizers have promised they'll stay on top of lawmakers, and said they'll be back next weekend to rally once again.

The real people that will suffer for this live in the Bible belt area. I feel sorry for them. I hope they get the help they need when they need it and no questions are asked. I don't want a return of back alley abortions ever

Why have you already stopped talking about Dakotah Earley? Do not let that story fade. Justice for Dakotah!

ugh no, don’t encourage more protests. just a mess to clean up. It’s ridiculous. Birth control is free, they’ll even mail it to ya! Also day after pill. Also some meds Dr can prescribe to self abort in early weeks.

If women stop being sluts and have sex with their husbands they wouldn't want an abortion. In fact they would be trying to make a baby.

——watch 2000 mules it is completely clear that the fraud is real, geofencing is legitimate proof, Biden is a fraud and all voting fraud needs to be reversed.. all of these people can be traced by mobile ping, the real criminals need to be brought to justice before any elections

Protesting in a democratic state is absolutely useless!

I really don’t know what they are in such an uproar, basically things go back to how they were pre-Roe so the Liberal voting Blue States will still have abortion on demand and the Conservative voting States will have abortion with restrictions or no abortion. That’s Democracy!!!
