Abortion Bans Blocked in Ohio, Arizona as Protesters Take to Street Ahead of Midterms
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in the United States, judges temporarily blocked abortion bans in
Ohio and Arizona Friday, while challenges to the bans proceed. Following
the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v Wade in June, at least 13
states have enacted a near-total ban on abortions. Meanwhile, people
took to the streets Saturday in nationwide rallies organized by the
Women's March, ahead of next month's midterms. In Washington, D.C.,
protesters marched to the U.S. Capitol.

Jackie Foster-Walker: "We're here today because my blood and my tears
had to fight to vote, had to fight to get Roe in the first place."

Emelie Tdsalvo: "My personal attitude is that I don't believe that
anybody should be made to become a mom if it's not in the cards for
them. And I don't think that politics should determine that. It's my
body, my choice, for every woman in the world, not even just our
country."
