Thousands of women march across US in support of abortion rights

American women fear more states after Texas could roll back abortion rights obtained in the 1970s.

Marches have been held across the United States as part of nationwide protests to demand continued access to abortion after conservative lawmakers and judges put it in jeopardy.

Thousands of women filled a square near the White House for a rally before the march on Saturday, waving signs that said “Mind your own uterus” and “Abortion is a personal choice, not a legal debate”, among other messages.

“I have two daughters here and I want them to have control over their lives later when they grow up, so it’s really important to come out here and not let this madness let out of hand,” a protester told Al Jazeera.
