U.S. Capitol Police arrested 35 protesters, including 17 members of Congress, during a peaceful demonstration outside the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday afternoon. The demonstrators voiced their opposition to the conservative court's decision overturning Roe v Wade. Several states have activated abortion bans across the country in the weeks that followed. U.S. Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri) led a line of protesters marching from the Capitol to the Supreme Court as they chanted, "Our body, our choice" and, "We won't go back." At one point, a female officer in the U.S. Capitol Police warned the group to leave the street or face arrest.
