Nationwide Protests Erupt Against Abortion Restrictions and Mifepristone Ruling.

Protesters rallied in Chicago's Loop to push back against the wave of restrictions to abortion access emerging across the country, calling for a broader movement to protect abortion rights. The protest came at the end of a week marked by judicial decisions that could affect the ability of people in all U.S. states to take the drug used in the majority of medical abortions, mifepristone. The far-reaching and virtually unprecedented order from a Texas judge sought to block FDA approval of the drug, ruling the agency did not properly assess safety concerns when it approved it decades ago.
