Politicians urged constituents to ‘take to the streets’ after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the nation’s highest court
Democratic lawmakers have called for mass protests after the US Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, a landmark case underpinning federal abortion protections for nearly five decades, with some reps urging supporters to go to “war” over the issue.
The court’s decision to overturn the 1973 case on Friday was quickly met with outrage from Democrats, many demanding street demonstrations in support of abortion rights nationwide.
“Voting is critical but alone it’s not enough. We will need to organize, strike, fill coffers of abortion funds, open our homes to help those seeking safe passage, and more to establish and defend our rights,” wrote progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (New York), who was earlier seen outside the Supreme Court calling on Americans to go “into the streets.”
