Usa, thousands of people in the streets for the right to abortion: in Washington the march ends in front of the Supreme Court – Video

The United States take to the streets for right to abortion. Thousands of people demonstrate across the country from New York a Washington, da Los Angeles a Boston passing through Austin, Democratic bastion of Republican and ultra-conservative Texas. The protests are just a taste of the “summer of anger” that is being feared. In fact, in June the Supreme Court will have to make a decision and the orientation of the essays, which emerged from the recently leaked and published draft, is to overturn the Roe v. Wade, the historic 1973 ruling he has legalized abortion in the United States.

The leak of news from the Supreme Court in early May is the basis of the protest of American women who do not want to be deprived of a right painstakingly won over years and years of battles.

Anger is palpable among the protesters. “The Supreme Court should defend rights, not erase them“, Is one of the repeated mantras. “There are many misunderstandings around the issue of abortion.

There are women who are forced to have an abortion due to complications, others because their life is in danger, ”she says Lauren Frazier, director of communications and marketing at Planned Parenthood Southeast, speaking in Atlanta. After protesting in front of the private homes of conservative constitutional judges, in the capital Washington, the demonstrators they marched to the Supreme Court headquarters with the aim of delivering America’s clear message: “Hands off our bodies. No one can decide what is best for us but ourselves. The body is mine and I decide “.
