Protesters clashed with police in downtown Los Angeles late in the evening as protesters condemn the US Supreme Court for overturning the Roe v. Wade ruling, which has legalized abortion rights for the past 50 years.
The protests intensified to the point that the protesters were dragged by the police and the police pointed their guns at them.
In the United States split in two, large-scale protests against the Supreme Court ruling on one side followed, and on the other side, protesters in favor of the ruling camped in front of a hospital where abortion procedures were performed.
Former President Donald Trump has also jumped into the abortion controversy by stating that he supports the Supreme Court's ruling.
[Donald Trump/Former President of the United States: Your endless love, sacrifice and devotion have finally produced the perfect result.
Congratulations.] In the
Democratic camp, following President Biden's fierce criticism of the ruling the day before, Secretary of State Tony Blincoln declared today that "the right to abortion will be guaranteed to all State Department employees, regardless of where they live."
State governments that allow abortion, such as California, have also responded by introducing measures to protect abortion procedures.
In addition, as US allies, such as the UK, Canada, and New Zealand, criticized the decision of the Federal Supreme Court one after another, the storm after the ruling is intensifying at home and abroad.
