Protests in UK after overturning of Roe v Wade abortion rights

Prime Minister Boris Johnson described it as a “big step backwards”, and hundreds took to the streets of London and Edinburgh to demonstrate against the decision.

The SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon said it will embolden anti-abortion and anti-women forces in other countries too. Rabbi Jonathan Romain said: “America should get ready for unwanted children, back-street abortions, suicides. Abortion should not be treated lightly, and adoption is another option, but complete strangers should not take away a woman’s control over her own body. Her right to choose is a sacred right.”
