Tens of thousands march for US abortion rightsCrowds gather in Foley Square for the Women's March on October 2, 2021 in New York City. The Women's March and other groups organized marches across the country to protest the new abortion law in Texas. At the Supreme Court, the marchers were met by counterprotests. The organizers of the Rally for Abortion Justice have called on Congress to enshrine the right to abortion in federal law, to protect it from any possible reversal by the Supreme Court. Trump's appointment of three conservative justices to the Supreme Court emboldened local conservative elected officials across the country to embark on an anti-abortion offensive.
