In video provided to The Times, dozens of protesters chant at 8th and Olive streets as police in riot gear push through the intersection. A firework is launched into the crowd, and some people scatter.
States will now be permitted to ban abortions for the first time since the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973. What does this mean in California?
The crowd outside the courthouse quickly grew to more than a hundred people, then more than 200. Inside the federal courthouse, security officers directed departing jurors to use the building’s back exits. “I asked around, asked my friends, and I found someone who could take her to Mexico. And we drove to Mexico for an illegal abortion, and it was a horrendous experience,” Meyer said. “I would never wish that on anybody.For several minutes outside the federal courthouse, speakers shared why they were there. One person encouraged churchgoers to challenge their fellow Christians. Another urged people to protest and donate to help women and nonbinary people access abortions.
Though abortion will remain legal in California, residents across the state expressed outrage at the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe vs. Wade. A volunteer for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Xiao said her group and others had been organizing for months in anticipation of the ruling. For Emily Zamora, an organizer with the South L.A.-based advocacy organization Labor Community Strategy Center, the ruling was symbolic of everything wrong with American society: a mostly male, unelected body dictating women’s reproductive rights.
For Binette, 26, “it’s quite personal.” She was in an abusive relationship for years with a man who raped her, which led to a pregnancy and her decision to get an abortion through Planned Parenthood, she said. At first she thought he was referring to Thursday’s ruling, which struck down laws limiting concealed-carry permits. Then she learned the court had overturned Roe vs. Wade. Within seconds, Lewis said, she was trying to find the nearest protest.
