As news spread Friday of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn its landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling, ending constitutional protections for abortion, thousands of protesters rallied across Southern California.
In downtown Los Angeles, where crowds had amassed at Pershing Square and the federal courthouse, some demonstrators made their way onto the 110 Freeway, temporarily blocking traffic. A different group of protesters clashed with a line of police who tried to block them from advancing down an onramp.
Aerial footage from KABC-TV Channel 7 showed protesters spanning the northbound lanes of the freeway around 7 p.m., marching toward the 101 Freeway. By 8 p.m., protesters had left the freeway. No arrests were made after the freeway was cleared, LAPD Chief Michel Moore said in a news release.
As night fell, protesters and police were on the move throughout downtown Los Angeles.
In video provided to The Times, dozens of protesters chant at 8th and Olive streets as police in riot gear push through the intersection. A firework is launched into the crowd, and some people scatter.
By 9 p.m., the Los Angeles Police Department declared an unlawful assembly, and officers formed skirmish lines in the area of 5th and Main streets.
Police warned protesters left in the area that they would be arrested and subject to the use of projectile weapons if they remained. Times reporters were turned away and not permitted to observe detentions or arrests.

I don’t think these morons realize that nothing will change in CA regarding access to abortion. In fact; it may be expanded just for spite. These clowns have been successfully indoctrinated over the past 50 years to believe that the overturning of Roe v Wade means that abortion becomes illegal across the country. They don’t understand that the decision simply goes back to the individual states. Idiocy on steroids.
They know
They don’t care
They just wanna brownshirt.
