PHOTOS: 6/24/22 Abortion rights advocates protest against the overturning of Roe v. Wade

Abortion rights activists gathered to protest against the overturning of Roe v. Wade on Friday, June 24 at the Wisconsin Capitol. The Supreme Court issued a decision on Friday morning in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The 6-3 decision overturns the prior decisions of Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). As a result of the ruling, regulation of abortion is left up to individual states. In many states, including Wisconsin, this means that abortion access is effectively or near-totally banned. Many protestors expressed fear and uncertainty about the decision. A large number of protestors also expressed uncertainty about the future of reproductive healthcare, LGBTQ+ rights, and access to contraception.
