Hundreds of protesters marched through downtown Los Angeles on Saturday to voice their support for abortion rights in the wake of a ruling by a federal judge that could overturn the FDA's approval of the most common abortion drug in the United States.
The reproductive rights march featured women - and some men - marching through the streets, chanting and holding signs, before ending with a rally in front of Los Angeles City Hall.
The rally featured several speakers, including a surprise speech by Vice President Kamala Harris, who happened to be in town for the event. Gloria Allred, a civil rights lawyer known for fighting to protect women's rights, spoke with ABC7 on the importance of maintaining mifepristone, the abortion drug in trouble of being removed from the American market, as an option for women.
