Hundreds attend pro-abortion rally following overturning of Roe v. Wade

(Fargo, ND) -- Pro-abortion activists filled Fargo streets on Friday following a Supreme Court Decision which impacted abortion rights across the country.

The group gathered outside of Fargo's Federal Courthouse on Friday following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a decades old decision which legalized and protected abortion rights across the United States. The new ruling, which can be found here, removes the right to an abortion, leaving the decision up to individual states. North Dakota is one of thirteen states which have trigger laws in place, a law which would move to ban abortion the moment Roe v. Wade is overturned. 

The activists started at Fargo's Federal Courthouse, where they walked towards City Hall occupying the middle of the street. Protesters walked north on Broadway, shouting chants and sharing condolences with each other. They eventually returned to the courthouse, occupying 1st Avenue North the entire route.

Activist leaders led chants shouting "Bans Off... Our Bodies" and "Abortion is Healthcare... We Want it Now". You can learn more about Fargo residents' response to the ruling by clicking here.
