Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “‘My body, my choice’: Anger over US Supreme Court abortion ruling” – below is their description.
Hundreds of protesters descended on the United States Supreme Court on Saturday to denounce the decision to overturn the half-century-old Roe v Wade precedent that recognised women’s constitutional right to abortion.
The sweeping ruling by the court, with a 6-3 conservative majority, was set to vastly change American life with nearly half the states considered certain or likely to ban abortion.
The crowd featured both abortion opponents wearing T-shirts reading “I am the Pro-Life Generation” and abortion rights supporters chanting “my body, my choice”.
