Protests erupted across the country following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. In major U.S. cities, pro-abortion protesters violently clashed with law enforcement on Friday.
Washington, D.C.
Antifa-linked pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge vowed to undertake a “night of rage” after the Supreme Court’s ruling on allowing states to make the final call about abortion. Black bloc protesters wielding umbrellas marched through the streets of Washington, D.C.
The group chanted slogans such as, “If abortion ain’t safe, neither are you,” “If we don’t get it, burn it down,” “Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground,” and “F*** the church, f*** the state, we won’t let them decide our fate.” The protesters burned American flags.
Footage from the protests were provided by Fox News associate producer Lisa Bennatan, Post Millennial correspondent Hannah Nighting, Washington Examiner’s Matt Miller, and TPUSA contributor Drew Hernandez.

CHASED: I was trying to record Antifa trying to break windows. Then the mutual aid far left activists spotted me and pointed me out. This black bloc group may be most emboldened crew ever. Knocked my phone down but I picked up right away. Had to out run them. I’m ok. #Seattle pic.twitter.com/j8nfHmNfV9
