Nationwide protests denouncing Dobbs ruling lead to dozens of arrests over the weekend

Police arrested dozens of pro-abortion protesters in cities across the country over the weekend as activists took to the streets to denounce the Supreme Court’s overturning of nationwide abortion rights, directing their anger at conservative justices, Republican lawmakers and right-leaning news outlets.

After a night of protests on Friday immediately following the court’s decision, protesters returned to the streets Saturday to express their outrage.

In South Carolina, six people were arrested when groups of protesters supporting and opposing the Supreme Court’s decision converged in downtown Greenville Saturday evening.

Police expected 100 protesters for the planned hour-long demonstration.
