Hundreds demonstrate for reproductive rights in downtown BG

Reproductive rights demonstrators in downtown BG.

Hundreds of protestors held a raucous protest against the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The demonstrators assembled at 1 p.m. at the county courthouse before moving to the intersection of Main and Wooster street, where they waved hand-made signs and chanted. They picketed in the crosswalks when the pedestrian crossing light was on. One woman who was slow clearing the walk was berated by a BG police officer.

By 3 p.m. the group had moved back toward the courthouse.
