Planned Parenthood, Women's March and other abortion rights groups organized more than 300 "Bans Off Our Bodies" marches for Saturday, with the largest turnouts expected in New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Chicago. "For the women of this country, this will be a summer of rage," said Rachel Carmona, president of Women's March. "We will be ungovernable until this government starts working for us, until the attacks on our bodies let up, until the right to an abortion is codified into law."
