Protestors rally across the U.S. against abortion ban

Viva Ruiz from "Thank God for Abortion" takes part in an abortion rights rally in front of the Middle Collegiate Church in the East Village of New York on May 21, 2019. Demonstrations were planned across the US on Tuesday in defense of abortion rights, which activists see as increasingly under attack. The "Day of Action" rallies come after the state of Alabama passed the country's most restrictive abortion ban, prohibiting the procedure in all cases, even rape and incest, unless the mother's life is at risk. Alabama is among about 14 states which have adopted laws banning or drastically restricting access to abortion, according to activists. [Photo: AFP/TIMOTHY A. CLARY]
