New Yorkers, still upset with the Supreme Court’s
decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, are expected to descend upon Washington
Square Park tonight.
The ruling stripped away women’s constitutional
protections for abortions that had been in place since 1973.
Elected officials have made it clear to New Yorkers that
abortion will remain available and legal here. Other states are dealing with
legal battles and navigating a complicated post-Roe world.
President Joe Biden has voiced his commitment to
attempt codifying Roe v. Wade into law.
News 12’s Faith Graham is in Washington Square Park with
