Large crowds of demonstrators gather at emotional rallies across the San Francisco Bay Area on Friday evening.
Protesters march in downtown San Francisco, on Friday, June 24, in response to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.Large crowds of demonstrators gathered at emotional rallies across the San Francisco Bay Area on Friday evening to express outrage over the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, ending nearly 50 years of national abortion rights.
"Today's decision means that are going to be forced to give birth," said Kimberly Ellis, director for the San Francisco Department on the Status of Women."Today's decision means that a lot of women are going to suffer. Today's decision means that a lot of women are going to die. So what that means for us ... is that's it time to fight or die."
"I don't know why we have to keep doing this, every other day we have another tragedy, every other day we have to fight for a new right that is being taken from us and we will not stand for it," she said."Republicans have been working for decades — decades — to get to today. They have been stacking our courts, they have putting forward more and more conservative right-wing nut-job candidates at every level of government. We will not stand for it.
In addition, demonstrators could be heard chanting,"I will not I will not be controlled, I am sovereign in my body, I am sovereign in my soul." When the crowd marched down 14th Street to the Alameda County courthouse, people on bikes and electric scooters stopped traffic to let the group move through.
