Two weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, protests are continuing around the country, including in Southern New England. According to NBC 10 in Providence, dozens of abortion rights advocates marched through New Bedford Saturday calling for increased accessibility to abortion and speaking out against the US Supreme Court's ruling. After walking more than a mile along Union Street, the march ended with a rally on the steps of the New Bedford Free Public Library. 

Massachusetts Citizens for Life has praised the Supreme Court for the decision releasing a statement saying in part, "We will not stop working to save the lives of innocent unborn human beings."
