Hundreds of people protested for abortion rights Saturday by marching to the White House and planting themselves in front of the building for about an hour, defying D.C. law and risking arrest.
On July 9, abortion rights activists gathered in Washington D.C. on Saturday to speak out against the recent Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
“You gotta listen, Joe,” she called, shaking a fist in the direction of the White House, where no movement was visible apart from a few Secret Service personnel in the driveway. “I voted for you.”Although Gibson-Spencer and the other marchers remained seated for about an hour before dispersing, no arrests were made, according to spokespeople for the U.S. Park Police and the Secret Service., that Park Police would arrest demonstrators “for not being in continuous motion on the sidewalk.
The march capped a week of activism in which activists protested outside Senate office buildings and hung a large poster reading “BIDEN PROTECT ABORTION” from a crane in Washington.Many of those who marched in D.C. on Saturday had expected to be locked in jail, including Jessica Cavalier, 42. She drove eight hours from Charlotte on Friday with her husband and mother-in-law — and packed $50 in cash in case she was required to post bail.
