Reproductive rights advocates are planning demonstrations across the US to mark the first anniversary of the supreme court decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a move that overturned the landmark ruling established by Roe v Wade that protected the right to abortion.

Actions and events are planned on Saturday in cities across the US including Washington, New York and Atlanta. Some events are being held virtually, particularly in states where abortion has been banned since June 2022.

Since the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision a year ago, more than a dozen states have passed bans banning abortion outright and many others have passed legislation to restrict abortion access. States like Georgia have banned abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, a period of time so short that most people don’t yet know they are pregnant. Even more states gearing up to further legislate pregnant bodies.
