Several hundred abortion rights advocates demonstrated for a second day in Boston following Friday's Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v Wade.
The group — which took over the sidewalk in front of the State House and the area across the street — held signs and chanted songs that have become rallying cries for their cause:"hands off my body," and"not your body, not your choice" among them.
"It's a real tragedy, especially for all of us who have worked for decades to secure the right for women to choose when to have children," said Brewer."This is a really sad day, and that's why I'm here with my two children." Madison Natarajan, a psychology PhD student in Boston, was also there. She says she is heartbroken by the ruling, and while Massachusetts has some protections in place to protect abortion rights, she knows more can be done.
