Protests were staged in many cities across the United States over the weekend as pro-abortion activists sought to ensure their right to end an unwanted pregnancy, after a leaked draft opinion of the Supreme Court indicated that the court was set to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which declared access to abortion to be a constitutional right.

In New York, Maryland, and Wisconsin, three separate incidents involving pro-abortion protesters sparked concerns from some Republican lawmakers and state officials.
