As news of the Supreme Court's decision to end constitutional protections for abortion spread Friday morning, many in Southern California responded with a simple question: Where do we protest?
The overturning of the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision will not hinder reproductive health access in California, where abortion will continue to be protected under state law. But the landscape on the ground will look painfully different in other parts of the country.
The first Los Angeles crowds began to gather around noon outside a federal courthouse downtown .
Standing with the growing crowd, Francisca Romero, a 25-year-old actress originally from Uruguay, described the Supreme Court decision as a tipping point in the country.
The green bandana tied around her neck was similar to the ones worn by women's rights activists in Mexico and Argentina when they fought for abortion rights, she said. Other volunteers and organizers wore their own green bandanas printed with the words "Overturn Roe? Hell no!"
"To me it feels like we're going back in time," Romero said. She couldn't believe this moment was happening in the United States.
The crowd outside the courthouse quickly grew to more than a hundred people, then 200.
"This is a point we can either mobilize and come together and say, 'Enough is enough. We won't stand for it.' Or we're going to sit back and be complacent to violence," said Becca Waite, a 34-year-old organizer with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights and a traveling emergency room nurse currently working in Orange County.

There wereabout twelve purple-haired weirdos protesting outside the courthouse in my Texas town today. It was 103 in the shade. They didn’t last long. Snowflakes melt so deliciously.
Cali, Nevada, WA, IL and many other states, mostly in the Northeast allow abortion up to viability. 16-20 weeks generally
Colorado, Oregon and a handful of Northeast states allow it up to birth.
Cali is hardly going to be the only one so it’s going to be a matter of which state is closest or in the case of very late term, going to one of the handful that allows them up to birth.
The cult of feral animals need new TVs, Nikes, watches & jewelry...so looting for abortion is the new game plan.
Not far enough - we need to get back where common sense and life mattered 🤪
Someone needs to confront these demon possessed whores thusly: is whoring around that important to you? Here’s a compromise: you can still have your abortions — but you are immediately sterilized afterward so you can spread your legs all you want. Granted, you can never have kids but you are probably the sort that should never have them to begin with.
The LA Times is a vehicle for white BLM whores to spout the Marxist party line. What the execrable LA Times is not telling its readers is that the Mexicans are about to take over LA County.
All you FReepers who predicted that Mexicans will take over California, you were right and have been vindicated. And there’s not a thing that the criminal racist Newsome can do about it.
Entire communities that were populated by blacks have been cleansed and are now occupied by Mexicans.
The idiot white racists in the legislature pushing reparations for blacks will be crushed or ignored. No way the Mexicans will be handing money over to the racist BLM.
And if the punk Newsome tries to bully the Mexicans by calling out the guard - guess what? Half the guard is...wait for it...Mexicans.
Game. Set. Match.
Don’t like it? Leave. Murdering babies is evil and never should of been allowed to begin with.
Yep....go to a country that supports sacrificing the innocent, evil whiners.
Yes..I’d like to go back to late 1970s, please!!!
I know Ukraine does. You should see all the poor little kids living in parks in Kiev. No adults to help them, we had to come from other countries to help.
I’m tired of the evil left advancing unchecked, so this was great news today.
Back in time ... Like to when babies were protected and queers were in the closet?
100%
Democrats are a death cult: Abortion, buggery, contraception, sexual mutilation ... they support every conceivable way to destroy the Human Race.
I could walk into a Pontiac showroom and walk out with a fully paid for car of my choice
Why? Abortion is going to remain legal in CA. What are the dummies protesting?
“… Or we’re going to sit back and be complacent to violence.”
Trying to remember the last time conservatives were a party to violence (6 Jan does not count…false flag).
If they close planned parenthood, where am I supposed to go to pick up trashy women?
they are worse than drugs and the plague they unleash on America
Wow, schadenfreude for those leftist weasals. And most Mexicans are Catholic and are NOT pro-abortion, so I doubt they will take kindly to these insane women stirring up chaos.
Nope
Just correctioning an incorrect decision made awhile back in time.
