A crowd estimated in the thousands turned up at Foley Square downtown late this afternoon in protest of the leaked SCOTUS draft that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
Protestors gathered and politicians scrambled to speak out following the bombshell
report last night at
Politico indicating that conservative justices are poised to vote to overturn a landmark ruling that guarantees access to legal abortions. (The Supreme Court
confirmed that the leaked abortion draft is authentic.)

"We, here in New York, must set up a fund to ensure that any woman, anywhere in the country, can look to New York as a safe haven that will allow them to make the reproductive health care decisions that are best for them," New York Attorney General Letitia James said. "This won't make things right, but it will give women nationwide one way to rest easy."
Other speakers included Amy Schumer...
Some attendees later headed north to Houston Street en route to Washington Square Park...
