Protesters around the United States took to the streets with the phrase “of our bodies” in response to a leaked Supreme Court judgment that might overturn the historic 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
An abortion-rights march in New York City attracted thousands of people, making it one of the most significant rallies as Americans awoke to the political and social change before the midterm elections.
On Wednesday, a demonstrator in Los Angeles, California, learned the hard way what happens when an unauthorized individual crosses the path of a Secret Service-protected presidential motorcade.

According to the Conservative Brief, an anti-abortion protester was detained and pulled to the ground as President Joe Biden’s convoy passed by.
During the motorcade, the woman was dressed in a sundress with a huge bag over her shoulder and used a bullhorn to accentuate her pro-abortion message.
An officer of the law came up behind the woman and grabbed her around the neck and shoulders before throwing her out of the line of the motorcade and then slamming her to the ground along the curb.
When the officer, who claimed to be a member of the Secret Service, tried to arrest the woman, she fought back ferociously, throwing sunglasses, equipment, and even a massive can of spray paint onto the street.
To convey her annoyance, she used a tremendous amount of F-words throughout the process of being attacked and arrested. Some of the other demonstrators there requested that the agent release her, while others engaged in verbal combat with the cops and agents around the wrestler and protester.
According to Breitbart, President Joe Biden was in Los Angeles on Wednesday to kick off the Summit of the Americas, a regular meeting of most Western Hemisphere governments.
After the meeting, the president also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s show for a prerecorded interview that will air later.
To think that the president shares her anti-abortion stance, this demonstrator may have imagined she could shout at the passing limousine without fear of reprisal.
Instead of playing politics or caring about where one feels on specific topics, she quickly discovered that the Secret Service is simply concerned with safeguarding the president and ensuring that no possible danger is given a chance to act.
In defense of their rights, protesters are tenacious, but interfering with a presidential procession is no laughing matter. We understand your want to be heard, and a presidential parade is a perfect event, but you don’t have to spend jail time to fight for your rights.
