Protests in front of SCOTUS after Dobbs

Protests in front of SCOTUS after Dobbs

Crowds gather outside the U.S. Supreme Court on 24 June 2022, the day the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling overturned Roe v. Wade. In the foreground a marcher carries a heart-shaped Live Action sign reading "Love them both". The slogan names a value, care for woman and fetus alike, in place of a specific policy claim, the same construction as Kansas's "Value Them Both" amendment that summer.

LIVE ACTION

A red sign held further back in the crowd (left of frame, partly reading 'AMERICANS FOR...') is too small and out of focus to read and is not transcribed.
