People across Florida are protesting the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. Here's where.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overruled its landmark 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion in Roe v. Wade, returning the responsibility for the legality of the procedure to the states.
Republican lawmakers have plans to ban abortion in about half the country, while Democratic-led states are likely to reinforce abortion protections. In Florida, despite a Leon County judge blocking a ban of abortions after 15 weeks with few exceptions, protests have been planned in multiple cities.
