STORYLINE:
Demonstrators both supporting and opposing abortion gathered in front of the Supreme Court on the second anniversary of a ruling that jolted the legal status quo with a ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Activists chanted slogans as pro-abortion advocates were holding a rally with speakers from various organizations chanting slogans like "I believe that we will win." Law enforcement eventually split the opposing demonstrators as chanting ensued.
The June 24, 2022, ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization sparked legislative action, protest and numerous lawsuits — placing the issue at the center of politics across the country.
Abortion is now banned at all stages of pregnancy, with limited exceptions, in 14 Republican-controlled states and barred after the first six weeks or so in three others. Most Democratic-led states have taken actions to protect abortion rights, and become sanctuaries for those seeking care from out of state.
That’s changed the way abortions happen, making it more of a logistical and financial ordeal for many who obtain the care. But it has not reduced the number of them each month across the U.S.
