Pro-abortion activists attempted to breach the Arizona Senate building during the first night of protests following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case that returned abortion laws back to individual states to decide.
As expected, large protests broke out in cities across the nation following the Supreme Court’s ruling Friday, which overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. While most of the protests did not result in the acts of violence that have popped up since the publication of a leaked draft majority opinion in the Dobbs decision in early May, one demonstration did turn contentious.
