On Saturday, abortion rights advocates participated in demonstrations across the country in response to a draft ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that would leave the availability of abortion up to individual states.
Hundreds of pro-abortion activists participated in protests in Phoenix and Tucson:

The Supreme Court is planning to take away women’s power to control their own bodies and decisions over their reproductive health, but not if we have anything to say about it.
Abortion remains legal, and we’re going to fight like hell to keep it that way. #BansOffOurBodies pic.twitter.com/jRHjWjVI3Z

Today we stand up and fight back! I am fed up with the state of #Arizona invading our reproductive choices. Now is the time to come together in an intersectional way to protect our rights.

We’re here tonight supporting our partners at @ppazaction because we trust Arizonans to make decisions for themselves, including getting an abortion.
Thank you to the organizers and everyone involved for putting this event together.#BansOffOurBodies pic.twitter.com/7WWccVDbfI
