IN PICTURES: Protests have swept across US after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, ending constitutional protections for abortion. MORE: 9News

"Forced motherhood is illegitimate."

Abortion rights opponents were also present in front of the Supreme Court building in Washington, DC. After the decision came down, a man - standing amid placards including the messages "Roe is dead" and "I am the post-Roe generation" - sprayed champagne in the air above others who were celebrating. The demonstration has been peaceful and there have been no arrests or any reason for Capitol Police to intervene. Law enforcement is on hand because authorities are still concerned about domestic violent extremists who may see the large crowds as an opportunity for violence.Police respond with sirens and loud speakers to tell protesters to leave the street after a truck came close to hitting some of the group as they marched through downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Demonstrators in Los Angeles clogged the 110 freeway as it passed through downtown, blocking traffic. While abortion will remain legal in California, the protesters said they were showing their concern and support for women in other states.
