demonstrations in the coming days. people here are encouraged to come back tomorrow. all right. donee in d.c. let s head to los angeles where camilla is. we saw abortion rights supporters marching on the freeway there. what s the latest now, camilla? reporter: hey, don, we were on the freeway for about 15 or 20 minutes, but lapd officers sort of blocked the protesters from continuing to walk on the freeway and kind of push them back inside of downtown l.a. and that s where we are right now. the crowd is still fairly large as you can see. you can hear the cars honking. many people shouting. they are screaming and saying, you know, our body, our choice. they took a water break and just like in washington d.c. organizers here in l.a. also getting ready to do this all over again tomorrow. they are already organizing and saying they re going to gather in the afternoon and a lot of them just saying they want to call the attention to what is happening here in los angeles, in cal
decision, news of that broke and the u.s. and all around the world. we ve seen thousands of demonstrators pass through this area outside the supreme court today. you know, when we were here first earlier this morning, there were groups from both sides of this debate and anti abortion activists were here celebrating as we reached into the evening, it was pretty much exclusively hundreds, possibly thousands of proabortion choice activists. the crowd really has dwindled out now. speakers just finished talking but say come back tomorrow. they want people back here tomorrow. what we did see here today, don, is a huge security presence across washington d.c. i will say that it was very, very different to the security presence we saw in washington d.c. on the morning of january 6th. there was police all over the city. some demonstrators also this evening marched from s.c.o.t.u.s. through washington and came back. so we are likely to see more demonstrations in the coming days. people
Due process precedents including obergefell. do you think this court is prepared to take the dramatic step of overturning the gay marriage case that bears your name? i hate to say it, but yes i do. this is a supreme court that s dominated by extreme right wing justices. and when one of those justices puts a target on marriage equality, the right to intimate relations in the privacy of your own home, the right to birth control, he put a target on those decisions in his concurrence in the dobbs decision. that was a clear call to opponents of marriage equality, opponents of lgbtq plus equality across the country, to start gearing up to file these suits, to do everything they can to tell us that we do not belong in we the people. so i very much am afraid that this court could overturn obergefell v. hodges, and it used to be we could say the supreme court believes in

You know, let s be clear, though, today is a very dark day for women in this nation to be able to control their own bodies, but in that concurring opinion, the rational or statements justice thomas makes makes me very concerned for the lgbtq plus equality and women s rights. contraception could become illegal. the ability for couples to engage in intimate relations in the privacy of their homes is at risk with lawrence and the ability to marry the person we love and have those marriages and families respected and protected at risk. i m very worried what the future holds for civil rights in this nation. what do you say to people? i heard it all day today. that will never happen. they re never going to take away same-sex marriage or challenge same sex relationships. what do you say to that?
