“I don’t have a uterus and she’s pregnant, but we’re here,” comedian Amy Schumer wrote in a post on Instagram.

The march took place on October 2 in front of the Supreme Court in Washington as part of the protests
throughout the country to preserve the right to abortion, AP reported, quoted by BTA.
According to the organizers, the event in the federal capital is among the hundreds of similar protests in the United States related to the issue of abortion.
The protests came in response to a law passed in the state of Texas that prohibits abortion
after the sixth week of pregnancy and is no exception for rape or incest (the so-called Heartbeat Act).
The law prohibits abortion from the moment the fetal heart sounds can be detected. Which usually happens in the sixth week of pregnancy.
The beginning of the Women’s March in Washington has been disrupted
of about two dozen counter-demonstrators.
“The blood of innocent babies is on your hands!” – says a man who was drowned out by the crack of the crowd, reports the Washington Post, quoted by BBC.
The administration of incumbent Democrat President Biden has summoned a federal judge
to block the country’s most restrictive abortion law, which has been in effect in Texas since September. This is one of many cases that have allowed senior magistrates to decide whether to uphold or reject the 1973 Row v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion for a generation of American women.
Women’s marches are becoming a regular occurrence
in the United States after Trump took office in January 2017, but were suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, the AP noted.
