Demonstrators across the US protest expected reversal of Roe v Wade

Bans Off Our Bodies marches follow the Senate's failure to pass legislation protecting the right to an abortion

With the US supreme court apparently poised to overturn the 1973 landmark decision which made abortion legal, hundreds of thousands of people across America are planning to take to the streets to protest the looming decision.

A coalition of groups such as Planned Parenthood, UltraViolet, MoveOn and the Women's March are organizing Saturday's demonstrations, whose rallying cry is Bans Off Our Bodies". More than 370 protests are planned, including in Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
