Protesters take to the streets denouncing Dobbs ruling overturning Roe

Protesters took to the streets in several cities Friday night in to rally against the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision protecting federal abortion rights.

Police arrested at least two dozen demonstrators, according to estimates, in New York as thousands marched through the city holding signs that said “Keep your laws off my body,” and shouting “My body, my choice.”

One police officer estimated as many as 17,000 protestors were in the crowd, the New York Post reported.

The crowd chanted “Burn it down!” as it marched outside of Fox News’s headquarters as it snaked through the city before blocking traffic in Midtown Manhattan at around 11 p.
