Protesters on both sides of the abortion debate took to the streets across New York City.
Both sides of the argument over abortion have been making their presence felt across New York City this weekend after a leaked document showed that the Supreme Court appears to be planning on overturning Roe v. Wade.Pro-choice activists demonstrated outside the Basilica of Saint Patrick's Old Cathedral on Mulberry Street in Lower Manhattan as the debate over abortion rights in the United States spilled into the streets for another weekend.
A smaller group of pro-life supporters stood on the church steps facing the demonstrators while praying the rosary and singing the hymn "Ave Maria." There is also added security outside Saint Patrick's Cathedral in case there are protests outside Sunday mass."We are aware of the call for some kind of protest," a spokesperson for the archdiocese told FOX 5 NY. "We will work with law enforcement and take appropriate steps as needed.
Some pro-choice advocates are also calling for Mother's Day protests at Catholic churches nationwide. All of this comes after the leak of a draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court's conservative majority plans to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
