Abortion-rights protesters clash with police during nationwide protests | USA TODAY

The historic decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade prompted abortion-rights activists to immediately gather outside the Supreme Court and throughout the nation.
RELATED: The Supreme Court of the United States overturns Roe v. Wade decision

The Supreme Court’s landmark decision to overturn Roe v. Wade continued to reverberate through the nation on Saturday, as abortion laws are rapidly changing in numerous states.

The reversal on Roe now means Americans' access to abortion depends primarily on where they live. And it will be up to the states to regulate where and how their citizens can access an abortion.

  1. lol! it was always a lie, and lies built upon lies … all about taking our money and … we let them! game over!

    1. @Kevin Souza < Calm down little lady. Learn a skill, get a job and take responsibility for your little self. You could move to Venezuela and get what you are trying to make America into.

    2. @Kyle Oates it is still the 18 year olds fault that she has an infant. Should have been more responsible. This is just an issue of basic basic basic responsibility. Raise your kids right and this would not even be a problem.

    3. @Kyle Oates it is absolutely a non sequitor bc you are essentially saying that poor life conditions of another person gives you the right to kill them. It doesn’t. Tell me, should we kill homeless people bc of poor current life conditions?

    4. @Kyle Oates I’m not sure what you mean by 6 months. And certainly each church is different, but there are many programs and churches that will support a mother throughout birth to 18 years of age. But there is certainly way way way more need than there is support, so I get your point, but I still don’t think it’s really an argument against abortion, just an argument for more charity.

    1. So by you saying from one week to 8 month you agree at-least up till one week you’d not class it a murder for real tho if it can’t survive out side then it’s not alive and therefore can’t be called murder

    2. @John John no I’m not saying that. I was just giving u an example. Life begins at conception. So when do u think it’s acceptable to murder an unborn baby

    3. @CAS Smith it’s not up to u to judge either. So don’t judge a child’s fate yourself. That belongs to God

    4. @John John John, I don’t think morality should be legislated. I believe separation of church and state.

    1. @Jay Bernal Japan probably. Their kids can walk down to the grocery store and run errands without fear of getting kidnapped or murdered 🤷🏼

    2. @AdamLambboy Nah, there’s too much sexual assault in Japan and their judicial system is incredibly fucked. If you’re falsely convincted of anything, you’re almost guaranteed to lose in court.

  2. What’s interesting about this is that people actually believe the government cares what the people think

    1. ​@2 A on the train tracks, one side has a living breathing baby, left there by someone. on the other side, there is two petri dishes of fertilized cells. would you kill the living, breathing, crying, baby? or a clump of cells with no consciousness. if you choose the living, breathing baby, congrats, you are pro choice. you support having kids when you know you can handle the responsibility, you support the idea of being able to know when you can be a parent. if you choose the fertilized eggs in a petri dish, congrats, you just let a living, breathing, baby die, for two fertilized eggs that aren’t breathing, have no consciousness, and might not survive.

    3. @Devious ArtZ those cells are human and technically where just a bigger clump of cells. And those cells are alive and it is a child 95 to 96% of all biologist agreed that life begins at conception stop trying to justify killing a child with scenarios that don’t exist. No amount of world play changes the fact that at the end of the day you are killing a child wether you like it or not.

    4. @Timithydwolf “you can’t kill a clump of cells” – Sure you can. You’re a clump of cells. Perhaps we should grant people the right to make the personal and unilateral decision about whether you should live or die?

    5. @Devious ArtZ Your analogy makes no sense. You’re talking about choosing to save a life, Pro-abortionists are talking about choosing to end a life. The second problem. It’s not a choice between the life of the mother and the life of the child. Good try, big fail.

  3. 0:11 until you play the 20 seconds leading up to the vehicle making an emergency escape. Media like this will never be trusted.

    1. If you are saying that their car was being bashed by protesters and the were afraid for their property and even their lives… I agree

  4. “The womb is now the safest place for a child to be”

    “The womb” as if the womb doesn’t belong to an actual person.

    1. @John John Buddha isn’t a God and Buddha even said he wasn’t a God and that God’s don’t exist.

    2. @John John Josephus said Jesus was the Messiah and raised from the dead.
      About this time lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was the achiever of extraordinary deeds and was a teacher of those who accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. When he was indicted by the principal men among us and Pilate condemned him to be crucified, those who had come to love him originally did not cease to do so; for he appeared to them on the third day restored to life, as the prophets of the Deity had foretold these and countless other marvelous things about him, and the tribe of the Christians, so named after him, has not disappeared to this day. (All Josephus citations, except the next, are from P. L. Maier, ed./trans., Josephus –The Essential Works (Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1994).

    3. @John John here is Oxford scholars saying Josephus is reliable so much so that a half dozen wrote books on him…
      As Bilde 1988 observes, the extensive use of Josephus’s works in Western history did not entail studying them as whole compositions. They were valued mainly for their sources and data, such that, until 1988, little scholarship existed to match the systematic analysis otherwise accorded classical and biblical authors, dealing with a work’s structures, themes, sources, date, occasion, and audience. We still lack a traditional Einleitung (systematic introduction) to Josephus’s works, but the studies in this section prepare the ground. Niese 1914 offers a survey of Josephus’s works in the classical mode, with much attention to sources though balanced by sage observations. Laqueur 1970 (cited under As Historian and Author) marks the first comprehensive effort to explain Josephus as a thinking author, over against the established view of his works as anthologies. Thackeray 1967 served as the main textbook for most of the 20th century; the author publicized in English many of Laqueur’s ideas. Shutt 1961 attempts balance in coverage but mainly interacts with Thackeray 1967. Attridge 1984 reflects Cohen 1979 (cited under As Historian and Author), which portrayed a basic shift in Josephus’s perspective, while making a first attempt to outline the works in a general way. Feldman 1984 focuses on developments in evidence and scholarly interest since Thackeray 1967. Rajak 2002 calls for understanding Josephus in light of his social type. Bilde 1988 was a watershed, carefully evaluating all scholarship until then and calling for a new appreciation of Josephus as author. Mason 2003 offers a new, comprehensive sketch of Josephus’s life and works in Roman context. Chapman and Rodgers 2016, a carefully designed collection, provides the best overview of Josephus’s life and writings, including text-critical and reception-historical issues.

    4. @John John the only way to prove history is to either have archaeological evidence or historical written evidence which is made stronger by the number of copies or accounts you have of an ancient event which there is nothing more greatly written about than the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ so by the mere fact that people who were not Christians and had nothing to gain from this wrote about him who are considered by secular atheistic scholars today as holy reliable is huge!

    5. @John John didn’t you hear they found the osuary or bone box of Caiaphas the high priest who had Jesus crucified with his bones and crucification nails inside? That was a big archeological find.

  5. Damn why are people attacking the people who do nothing involved of law making/decisions.

    It’s almost like you can just protest outside your States Senator’s workplace and any politicians workplace to force their hand to make change

    1. @The Whole World Is Insane like Washington DC May 24th 2020 where violent insurrectionist attacked the white firebombing one of the guard post, beat up 150 officers and went to burn of the oldest churches in the country.

  6. I just read this from a doctor, “It’s not just about abortion, if it was, people having miscarriages wouldn’t be affected by the law, but they are.” I’m not for “killing babies” but I’m going to make sure my elected officials know I want more clear laws on normal prenatal care for my daughters.

  7. “The womb is now the safest place for a child to be.”

    If only they didn’t have to leave and then enter your elementary schools, huh?

    1. @guido toth “ the state handed over authority to Mother Nature and personal responsibility.”

      That’s what you meant right?

    2. 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅
      I love arguing with the illiterate…
      “fetus” is the Latin word for “baby”

  8. This government is gonna wish they’d done things differently when it’s everyone vs them and their families…

    1. Are you talking about the high gas prices? Cause that’s the most upsetting thing happening right now. By far.

  9. I like how they spin everything. It makes them wholly untrustworthy. Is it “people trying to rip you out of your vehicle” or basically saying “a crazed madperson accelerates thru peaceful fun loving crowd definitely not in the middle of the street battering vehicles”.

    1. Blocking the street is illegal. And there is nothing illegal about slowly and carefully pushing your vehicle through the protestors. If they start to attack the vehicle… then you must speed up and escape the violence and go to a police station and report it.

  10. Just an observation:
    In the last few weeks, we have been bombarded with opinion pieces, documentaries, and debates regarding “What is a woman?”

    The moment “R v W” was overturned, those that asked such questions instantly had all doubt erased!

    1. @It’s A Long Day Big difference between the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to divorce, the right to equal pay for equal work … and the so-called “right to kill.” That’s not a right, that’s a sick and perverse “privilege.” No one should ever have the “right” to make personal and unilateral decisions about who lives and who dies.

  11. OK Atty Gen, “The womb is now, in OK, the safest place for a child to be.” After they’re out that crowd couldn’t care less about what happens to them. Welcome to Agendaville…

    1. @DriveInFreak Because women choose to get pregnant 99.9% of the time. That’s like complaining about lung cancer after smoking for 40 years.

  12. 0:15 the truck didn’t plow thru them. They wouldn’t get out of the way so the driver just let it coast in drive until they moved. The clip makes it look like he drove thru them but didn’t.

    1. I know it wasn’t an 18 wheeler but In case you didn’t know a federal law allows 18 wheelers to keep moving through a protest at a speed slow enough for people to move but fast enough so they can’t jump on the truck. Interfering wit interstate commerce is a felony with a minimum fine of $15,000. And interfering is defined as blocking a public road. The rule is if you run over someone drive to a safe place at least a mile away and call the state police.

  13. Don’t be pawns for the profit of these corrupt politicians. Protest peacefully. We are divided enough. Take care!

  14. This is the exact reason why I vote for the politician who promises for the smallest government possible. Less gov control in my life the better.
    Cherokee Nation…….

  15. Do you think things are going to get worse? I mean, I’m always concerned about violence in the world, but do you think these protests are going to become violent? It has seemed fairly civil, so far.

  16. We have allowed this childish behavior to long. May we learn to hold our peace and be firm in our actions and what we put in office. Be smart and stay safe. 🤔 Think
