Protesters at Mill Creek Park vented frustrations and railed against the Supreme Court and Republican lawmakers late Friday afternoon, following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Hundreds of protesters gathered at Mill Creek Park near the Country Club Plaza Friday evening to rally against the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortions across the country.
In Missouri, a trigger law that will now make nearly abortions illegal took effect minutes after the decision was handed down. The law makes it a felony to induce an abortion and has no exception for rape or incest. Its only exceptions are for medical emergencies that threaten the life of the pregnant person.

I love the “my body, my choice,” but why do they always want to involve my wallet?

I'm pro abortion to an extent, I do not agree with late term abortion unless it's a medical emergency, and I believe all those who have been pushing the issue is what caused this reversal

..."Amelia Mendus stood in the middle of the rally, draped in an American flag. She said the ruling won’t eliminate abortion — it will only make it more dangerous, especially for people who can’t afford to travel to a state where the procedure is legal.
“We saw this coming,” she said. “It’s unfortunate and it looks like things will go underground for a time.”

Amelia Mendus draped herself in a flag to attend Friday's protest at Mill Creek Park to rally against the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Still, Mendus said she was able to find a glimmer of optimism on an otherwise sad day.
“It’s beautiful to see the cross sectional inter dynamics of the community,” she said, looking at the crowd gathered at the park. “To see all of the love Kansas City has for its citizens. It’s just beautiful.”
