St. Louis protesters call abortion 'act of love,' call for it to be free without restrictions

A pro-choice rally is held near a St. Louis, Missouri Planned Parenthood after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in landmark decision.

Progressive Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., spoke at a pro-choice rally in St. Louis, Missouri Friday afternoon during which protesters chanted "Free abortion on demand, the people hate abortion bans!"

Bush, who was elected as a Missouri congresswoman in 2020 and is considered a member of the "Squad," repeatedly called U.S. Supreme Court justices "unelected" as the crowd booed.

They were "able to make a decision to affect people whose existence they will never know," she said of the 5-4 decision by the court to overturn Roe v. Wade. "Whose children and children’s children they will never know."

A woman named Maggie Olivia who spoke at the rally said her abortion was the "best choice" she ever made and called it an "act of love."
