Thousands attend rallies across US

(UTV | US) – Tens of thousands of people have been holding rallies across all 50 US states in support of abortion rights.

They have been galvanised in opposition to a new Texas law that severely limits access to abortions in the state.

Pro-choice supporters across the country fear that constitutional rights may be rolled back.

In the coming months, the Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could overturn Roe v Wade – the 1973 decision that legalised abortion nationwide.

In Washington DC, demonstrators marched to the Supreme Court building, holding signs such as “Make abortion legal”.
