More protests expected this weekend amid fury and anguish over the Supreme Court's abortion ruling

The seismic ruling by the US Supreme Court to eliminate the federal constitutional right to an abortion has roiled the country, fueling protests that began Friday and that are expected to extend throughout the weekend.

Loud and angry demonstrations by abortion-rights advocates were held in several cities on Friday, hours after the court overturned the 1973 ruling known as Roe v. Wade. There were also smaller gatherings of people who welcomed the ruling.

More demonstrations are expected on Saturday and Sunday, according to abortion-rights advocates. They're planned across big and smaller cities in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania to Wisconsin and Illinois as well as Texas, New Mexico and California, plus many others.
