People pray outside of the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday, May 3, 2022 in Washington. A draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court could be poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide, according to a Politico report released Monday. Whatever the outcome, the Politico report represents an extremely rare breach of the court's secretive deliberation process, and on a case of surpassing importance. (AP Photo)

Protests over the leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion that would throw out the court’s Roe v. Wade ruling sent people into the streets around the nation.

Around 1,000 people gathered in front of the court Tuesday, the vast majority calling for continued federal protection for abortion rights.

“I can’t believe how many women I have met that did this in their lifetime already,” said Jessica Fendryk, 39, of Maryland. “And now we have to be fighting for them all over again.”

One demonstrator carried a sign declaring, “If men could get pregnant, abortions would be available at every ATM.”

At a rally in Manhattan, New York state Attorney General Letitia James announced that nearly two decades ago, she “walked proudly into Planned Parenthood” and had an abortion.

In Texas, several hundred people rallied in Austin on Tuesday, marching down a main avenue downtown.
