Photos: Protests Erupt As Leaked Opinion Draft Signals Roe V. Wade End

ACROSS AMERICA — Thousands of protesters gathered in a number of cities across the country after Politico published a leaked draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito that suggests the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to strike down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that federally legalized abortion.

In New York City, people gathered in Washington Square Park in Manhattan and outside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, marching toward Foley Square to join thousands of protesters near city hall.

In Los Angeles, police say one officer was injured when protests near downtown's Pershing Square turned rowdy. In other cities, protests were more peaceful, with around 1,000 protesters gathering outside the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. Smaller protesters were also held in Austin, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, as well as other cities.
