Pro-choice New Yorkers are set to take to the streets Friday night in protest of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, eviscerating the constitutional right to an abortion and making the procedure illegal for millions of people across the country.
Demonstrators will descend on Washington Square Park at 6:30 p.m., to protest the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in a protest organized by the group NYC for Abortion Rights. Later, at 8 p.m., protesters will head to Union Square for a rally organized by Planned Parenthood.
